“As a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist who has treated and taught considerably in the field of sex addiction, I believe David Moore’s work is extremely important in the developing field of sex addiction in New Zealand. He has more than 25 years of counselling practice experience using the material in his practice with real clients and has a passion for helping both the people suffering and those that help to treat them. David’s work both informs and gives useful interventions for problematic sexual behaviour. It looks at the hard issues that can be motivating factors for those caught in this lifestyle and is an important contribution towards the sexual health of New Zealand.”
“David Moore has spent many years researching the need for a treatment programme for men with a sexual addiction. This is a much needed community offering. It is a problem that devastates many families. David brings a fresh thorough approach and is very professional. I warmly support this initiative and he is a person of great integrity. I am a registered psychologist and I was a founder member of the NZ Sexologist Society. While I currently work as an executive coach I have worked for many years on sexuality related issues including training as a sex therapist. My cilents have included a number of men with sexual addiction issues.”
“I am happy to endorse the STEPS Programme and believe the project to be of immense value to the improvement of our society in dealing with an often unspoken and difficult issue. Having digested the STEPS Programme. I am of the opinion that it involves a legitimate project, is led by a person of the highest character and is a most worthy project of government and private sector funding. The need to tackle issues such as problem sexuality in our community is the responsibility of all of us, whether in the legal profession or otherwise. From personal experience, I can add that projects such as yours are of immense value to those of us needing help in addressing and recovering from personal problems. I wish you well with the advancement of this programme.”
“In my capacity as a general practitioner with a professional interest in family violence prevention, I would like to endorse the STEPS Programme. I have worked collegially with the programme’s director David Moore and understand the foundation of his work and core objectives of the project. I believe there is a need for this work in the wider community to address an increasing problem in our society with problem sexuality which has widespread implications for the health and wellbeing of individuals and their families.”
