About Me

David Taransaud is a UKCP-registered psychotherapeutic counsellor, consultant and author with over two decades of experience supporting vulnerable children and young people.
His work has taken him from some of London's most deprived boroughs to Kitgum in Northern Uganda, where he established an art therapy service for former child soldiers, and to Karachi, Pakistan, working with street children and survivors of trafficking.

He is the author of several books on trauma and resilience in young people, including You Think I'm Evil and Sad Belly. His latest book, What Held. What Broke. What Grew., draws on his work in Uganda and Pakistan to explore what the world's hardest childhoods can teach us about trauma and post-traumatic growth.

David regularly speaks and delivers training across the UK and internationally on connecting with troubled and troubling young people.
