​​​​​Dave Prette Counselling Services

     Welcome to Dave's counselling service webpage  

I am officially closing my practice as of the end of May 2026.  This site will run until the end of August, so I thought I would leave this note here and offer my sincere thanks to all the families and individuals I have met and hopefully supported over the years. 

I have often said that I have gained far more from this experience then others have received from me.  I am truly grateful for those who have put in the time sitting with me, exploring life's mysteries and reflecting on the things that we can do to improve our situations.  

Here are a few of the more salient thoughts that I have been left with:

• What we focus on expands, it is important to be aware of what we are attending to
  
• The more we use gratefulness and are thankful for what we have, the better our life feels
  
• By accepting the things we can not change and turning our attention towards the things that we have and appreciate in our lives, the better our future will be
• Change is hard as we are most comfortable with what is familiar
  
• It is not the effort or desire for change that makes a difference, but the consistency with which we apply it
  
• We are not only responsible for our own behaviours and thoughts​, but also our own emotions​
