About David Curry, R.P.C.
I am deeply grateful to have found a career that I am passionate about, and counselling is my passion.
In my early career I was lucky enough to have had business success as an entrepreneur, creating, growing and subsequently selling, a 100-employee, $10 million in revenue business, from nothing. |

After I sold this business, I asked myself what I really wanted to do with the rest of my life. I realized what has meant the most to me in my life has been feeling better about myself. I knew then that if I could also help others feel better about themselves and their lives, I would have found the perfect career. After that realization, counselling became an obvious choice. |

Initially I received a Diploma in Professional Counselling from the Vancouver College of Counsellor Training, and then went on to acquire another Diploma in Integrated Counselling from the Cura Institute of Integrated Learning.
After successfully completing my 2nd qualification in Counselling, I decided to specialize in “Trust-Oriented Therapy (TOT)”, which is a model of counselling created by my mentor, Mahmud Nestman.
I chose TOT as my primary way of working, as its core philosophy matches my own beliefs: the answers clients are looking for are always within themselves (even when they seem to have tried everything). My job as a TOT therapist is to help my clients connect with their own answers, hidden within them.
I am a member of the Canadian Professional Counsellors Association (CPCA) and am a designated Registered Professional Counsellor (#2280).
Since opening my private practice, and until today, I am in continuous study with my mentor and Clinical Supervisor, including practicing counselling on video tape, and then being critiqued in group by my mentor and colleagues.
In 2009 I was also given the honor of assisting my mentor with training new therapists in Trust-Oriented Therapy™.
In my own time, I love music, dancing, painting, yoga, snowboarding, and time with family and friends.
I am dedicated to continued life long learning in the field of counselling and personal growth, as I believe that I can only be of help to others to the depth of my own relationship with myself.
Namaste (I honor the spirit within you),
David |
