David Bolliger
Wild at Heart Counseling
Sessions Online or in BangkokAustralia & Thailand
My name is David, I’ve been counseling for 25 years. I’m not the guy you come to for a medical view of your head. I’m here for the drama of your existence, your inner complexity, your crazy relationships and your hope for life. I’m trained in psychological methods, but I draw as much from drama, literature, cinema, art, dreams, the esoteric and the street. I’m not interested in categorising anyone. I’m interested in what is trying to unfold.
I’m so thankful I attended trainings with Drs Hal & Sidra Stone at the turn of the century. Theirs is not a cold psychology, trapped in the rational. In their world judgements lead to treasures, and relationships are constantly renewed. I share parts of my process with Hal & Sidra to this day, and also with Hal’s daughter Tamar. Nearly two decades later I see no other method has had a greater influence on my work or on my life.
After my encounters with Hal and Sidra I was further initiated in dream work by Lydia Duncan. Lydia had a startling awareness, sharpened by some of the 20th century’s most venerated teachers. While Hal and Sidra initiated me in “relationship as teacher”, Lydia initiated me in a more individual path. I’m thankful for both the personal and transpersonal points of view. When Lydia passed away recently, I felt a strong urge to continue her legacy.
These days I love working with the “global human” and see many of my clients online. You can contact me directly using the Skype widget below. If I’m not online I’ll respond as soon as possible:
