David Wilson, Clinical Psychologist
Clinical Psychology in Bela-Bela

Over 20 years experience dealing with problems in self-esteem and associated interpersonal difficulties. Questions of meaning and spirituality. Stress management. All forms of addictions, both chemical and process. Attention Deficit and learning problems. Experienced in dealing with most adolescent crises. I treat the full range of emotional problems including anxiety states (from panic attacks to severe depressive episodes). Chronic emotional states e.g. boredom, anger and jealousy.

Special Interests Self Esteem; Identity and interpersonal relating. A lack of authentic purpose, meaning and personal vision is often associated as both cause and effect of psychological deficits in self-esteem. Anxiety states are also an area of special interest and expertise, from general non-specific forms, to social phobias, acute panic disorders, and both acute and chronic stress syndromes. My aim is to provide emancipatory self-awareness, that, while taking our human conditioning such as our bodily and socio-economic realities into account, provides us with ways that enhance our capacity for choice. The unique human connection possible within the psychotherapeutic encounter with a therapist with whom we resonate may provide not only relief from symptoms, but release from old repetitive patterns and beliefs, uncovering inner serenity and freedom of choice. We have the capacity to learn from experience, and attain inner serenity and joy, rather than being enslaved to the transient external pleasures via the excesses of consumerism and recognition hunger that have become social norms.
