About Us - Our Approach

Today the battle is for the mind. How you feel and act depends on two things, what you think about and how you think about it. Only you can change those.

Living Wisdom is an insight-based model of counselling that empowers and reassures the mind. It provides practical and deep reassurances that the mind needs when under pressure. We help to trace, face and replace destructive thinking and misbeliefs with the needed missing insights. This is achieved through, amongst other things, the use of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).

David Riddell has developed the Living Wisdom model of counselling over twenty years of research, teaching, and working with clients. The techniques have been tried and tested by David and other counsellors over thousands of hours of counselling. Consequently Living Wisdom clients report rapid change, healing and progress in their lives.

Living Wisdom is based in both faith and psychology, and when they interact we benefit. Truth is truth; there is therefore no conflict between psychological truth and scriptural truth.

“When Christianity rejects practical psychology, it is in danger of losing the ‘how to’, leaving only Christian clichés to either placate or frustrate.”
