Discovering your truest self
Advanced Pastoral Care with David Tensen
Drawing on years of experience in Inner Healing and Advanced Pastoral Care – both as a therapist and trainer – David currently has a limited number of client spots available for those needing help in their life.
People describe David’s approach as gentle, yet dynamic – insightful and helpful. No two people are the same, nor are the factors that influence their inner world. David greets every client with new eyes, new possibilities, and no agenda but to help where he can.

My Approach & Values
I am first and foremost, a human. I am flawed, just like you. My faith and values swirl from time to time but I have maintained a love and devotion for God as expressed and represented in the Trinity as Father, Son and Spirit. My approach to therapy and counselling has changed over the years as my life experience and training have progressed.
My introduction to healing happened at the Elijah House Ministry School where I obtained a Cert III in Prayer Ministry and ended up as Australian General Manager. I discovered have an inherent knack for helping people find freedom, allowing them to move forward in their life, faith, relationships and career. I cut my teeth working at, and with, local churches in my 30s. I would see whoever come to the counselling room, whether it was church members or the public.
Eventually I focussed on supporting church workers, especially pastors and their families. I gained a reputation as a safe and effective space for many pastors and leaders – my gifting made way for me to travel (at invitation) all over Australia and Asia Pacific.
You can find insight into my career timeline here and my statement of beliefs here.
