Mr David Chessman
Specialist Wellness Counselor
“Dialectical Behaviour Skills trainer. 34 years experience working in Multinationals. Registered Specialist Wellness Counsellor.”
About Me
Drawing on 34 years in multinational environments, I understand the unique pressures of corporate life. As a Specialist Wellness Counsellor, I equip clients with practical Dialectical Behaviour Skills. We focus on tools for managing stress, emotional challenges, and building resilience. This background helps professionals navigate demanding careers, fostering well-being and a stronger sense of self.
Approach
My approach is practical and skills-focused, scaffolding clear emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance techniques into everyday work and home routines. I offer sessions in English from Sandton and online, pacing appointments to fit busy professional timetables and short windows between meetings. You’ll leave with simple exercises to practice between sessions, a brief debrief on what helped, and stepwise plans to prevent burnout and stabilise mood. This style suits adolescents and adults navigating career pressure, relationship strain and overwhelming stress.
