Psychologist

David Kalmar graduated at Sydney University with a Bachelor of Science Degree and a Post Graduate Diploma in Psychology.

David has specialised in the treatment of drug & alcohol addiction and also working with youth. David has been trained in the modalities of the Radiant Group.
‘Recovery’ is not an absolute term in Addiction, and is often a journey of discovery. In David’s wholistic approach as a therapist his intention is to gently guide and support the client to uncover the accumulated layers of unhealthy behaviours, beliefs and defences that have been built up over time, which were once there to protect, yet no longer serve healthy relationships or self love. In promoting understanding and addressing the deeper underlying wounded feelings and issues, healing and growth begins. It is with this foundation of healing that life’s true vision can be created.
David is a keen adventurer; enjoying the occasional expedition in the mountains, seeing new places, or even just discovering the stillness of the mind through meditation. David enjoys sharing a good meal with his wife or close friends.

 Our center is located in the heart of Neutral Bay. With it’s discreet outlook, our centre provides a nurturing space to see clients individually and conduct our programs. Parking is available at nearby Coles’ or Woolworths car parks, or meter parking on surrounding streets. For free parking it is necessary to park on residential streets a few blocks to the north of our centre.
We are easily accessed by public transport. Express buses run regularly from Wynyard to Neutral Bay Junction (Bus No’s 243, 244, 245, 246,247). There are also direct buses from North Sydney, Chatswood, Manly and the Northern Beaches.
 Our fully airconditioned seminar space provides room for up to 24 people comfortably. Lectures and group therapy are conducted in these spaces. The room divides into 2 rooms via a fully soundproofed operable wall. This provides extra space to divide a large group into smaller group sizes.
 Our Reception and Reading Room. Our lovely reception room provides a quiet space to relax and read material from our lending library. Packed with resources and a collection of books on recovery, self-help, health management, wellbeing and spiritual practice we invite clients to sit and make use of these resources.
 The Terrace: During our 2 week intensives or 3 day programs it’s nice to know you can relax outside in the privacy of our own shaded and leafy green terrace. On short breaks or during lunchtime, it’s perfect to get some fresh air, catch some sun and enjoy your lunchbreak. A retreat from the bustle of busy Neutral Bay.
