Dave
At Think Well, I help individuals and organisations create lasting, positive change through person-centred hypnotherapy, coaching, and development support. As a training hypnotherapist accredited by the National Hypnotherapy Society, I use evidence-based techniques to help clients overcome fears, break habits, manage anxiety, and build confidence. I’m also training as a psychotherapist, adding to my understanding of mental health and behaviour change. With over 20 years’ experience across coaching, social care, retail, fashion, banking and learning & development, I hold a BA in Communications, a Level 5 Diploma in Learning and Development, and I’m an Associate Member of the CIPD. I also specialise in supporting EOTAS, SEN, and NEET clients, helping young people outside mainstream education build confidence and discover their strengths. Whatever your goals — personal, educational, or professional — I’m here to help you unlock your potential and navigate change with confidence.

Dave’s training transformed our approach to service. His emotional intelligence, encouragement, and real-life insight empowered us to feel ready, sharp, and service-first in our busy store environment.
We all felt energised and equipped to go beyond expectations.
Georgia Antonia Martin
Visual Stylist at M&S
Our resident was isolated, disengaged, and completely disconnected. David worked slowly and therapeutically to build trust, connection, and openness.
His impact has been transformational—not just for this young person’s development, but for our ability to support him long-term. David’s work is vital.
Nicola Forbes
Residential Service Manager, Compass
David delivered customer engagement coaching that was clear, targeted, and tailored. He created high trust quickly with each team member and brought theory to life with practical application.
The sessions were the best we’ve had in years—and results were immediate.
Mark Brown
Leadership Development, Waitrose
Dave spent about a week in store with myself, my team managers and colleagues. The impact was huge. He built trust quickly, tailored his coaching to M&S behaviours, and inspired confidence throughout the team.
He was approachable, adaptive, and intuitive. Dave recognised and empowered top performers, and gave nervous colleagues the confidence to succeed. The store launch was smoother and more successful because of him.
