David Bone, ACA

David Bone frames much of his work around the idea that people often become trapped by difficult feelings - guilt, shame, grief, anxiety and depression - and by the choices they make to avoid that discomfort. He offers practical, experienced counselling aimed at helping people untangle those patterns and move toward more fulfilling choices.

With six years of professional experience and many more years of lived experience informing his practice, he focuses on addictions, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related concerns. His broader areas of focus include attachment and communication problems, control issues, first responder challenges, divorce and separation, drug and alcohol addiction, process addictions such as gambling and pornography, sex addiction, and related struggles including guilt, shame and midlife issues.

David brings a pragmatic, strengths-based approach that balances realism with hope. He works to identify unhelpful patterns, support clients through difficult emotional material, and develop practical strategies for change. He holds the ACA credential, indicating professional recognition in counselling work. His style is positive and professional, and he emphasizes that meaningful change often requires effort and commitment from both therapist and client.

For people ready to begin addressing addiction, relationship strain, trauma or intimacy concerns, David offers structured counselling that aims to help them reclaim choice and build a more satisfying life.
