I have had depression from about the age of 11 or 12years old (I am now 46). It wasn't until I was 42 that I was diagnosed with "Dysthymia depression". The one thing that impresses me about David is that after every session I am left with a deeper understanding of myself. I can now honestly say after all these years of searching for "happiness" that I really like myself and that I'm OK what ever drama's are going on in my life. David has given me some powerful tools to deal with life's problems. M.W
When I started seeing Dr Malkin eight months ago I was very distressed about events in my life. I was offered understanding and support. The sessions focussed on promoting change and growth, and provided exposure to a range of strategies for me to explore. I continue to use some of the strategies that are effective for me. Dr Malkin also modelled a process for reflecting objectively on events. Our therapist-client relationship has always been professional and has grown considerably over time. Furthermore, what I initially wanted from the relationship wasn't necessarily what was best for me in the long term. For instance, in the early days I wanted sympathy... but Dr Malkin provided understanding and progressively gave me the means to my own empowerment to move on and take charge of my own life. He has been extremely effective in assisting me to move from a state of inertia and fear to powerful engagement in Life. Thank you David. E.L
I was referred to David in early 2008 and saw him on a weekly basis for 12 months. Apart from being a gentle caring man, he is also one of the most professional individuals I have known. I was at a time of crisis, barely coping with the basics in life and David was able to guide me through my problems step by step. The key to his success is his easy going nature that enables you to self help without feeling like your talking to someone that can solve all your problems by preaching. I would highly recommend David to anyone. His sessions are informal, however well structured and I always left my session with him with lots to think about and was eager to see him again. A remarkable man, whom I have an enormous amount to thank him for. He enabled me to understand my problems that had put me in crises and has given me the opportunity to take control of my future. Thank you David. T
I was referred to David by another psychologist who had used his services and found him highly proessional and effective. I have since referred others to David who have reported the same. As a practicing psychologist it is important to know of skilled practitioners that you trust for yourself and have complete faith in referring others to. K.C
I made contact with David in 2002 and have seen him on a regular basis ever since. On every consultation David is professional, caring and insightful. He was there when I needed an experienced and trusting person to talk to. From my first meeting, David has guided me out of depression and helped me create a life where I feel happy, confident and mature. I would highly recommend David to anyone and can easily say that I am a better person for knowing him. Thanks David. M
I was originally referred to David by my GP a little over 20 years ago. I have continued as a client of David's since then when life events have meant that I've wanted assistance. Over that period of time I have always found David exceptionally trustworthy, insightful, compassionate and professional. G
