Dave Lovegrove

Dave believes that connection and relationship are the foundation for fulfilling experiences throughout life. He works individually with children, adolescents & also with their caregivers to facilitate re-connection and strong attachment-based relationships.

Dave has taken a less-traveled path to his role as a therapist working in a variety of industries whilst incorporating solo travel and life as a parent/step-parent. Dave regularly works with parents experiencing parenting challenges and facilitates monthly Fathers circles. These varied experiences contribute to Dave’s relatability and strong empathy and also as a father of three children.

Dave formalised his interest in Psychology through completing a post-graduate degree in Psychology at Monash University before obtaining his certification in both Humanistic Play Therapy and Dyadic Family Therapy. He is passionate about empowering parents especially fathers to connect through understanding and strengthening empathic communication; viewing healing and re-connection as a holistic, dynamic process for the whole family system.

Dave takes the time to understand you and your family and the specific challenges you may be facing whilst facilitating a safe space for you to be authentic, honest and re-connect with both your family and yourself.

Dave believes that everyone is capable of healing and feeling fulfilled; both individually and in each of your relationships.
