About David

David Goodman is a United Kingdom based counsellor who combines person-centred work with EMDR to support people through anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, relationship strain, low self-esteem and major life changes. He offers a calm, non-judgemental environment where clients are treated as experts in their own experience and encouraged to explore feelings and patterns at a pace that suits them.

EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, is used when talking alone does not fully resolve distress. David integrates this approach alongside a person-centred stance to help process traumatic memories and persistent emotional blocks while still honouring each client’s knowledge of their life.

With five years of clinical experience, David is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is a professional body for counsellors and therapists in the UK. He works with individuals facing a wide range of concerns including grief, addiction, parenting difficulties, anger, and issues around intimacy and abandonment. Reaching out can feel difficult, and David aims to walk alongside clients with steady support and practical focus as they seek clarity, relief, and growth.

Client-Centred and EMDR Support Delivered Online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating an accepting space where the client leads the conversation and the therapist offers empathy and reflective listening. This approach helps people make sense of their feelings, build self-understanding, and find their own solutions to stress, relationships, and life transitions.

EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, is a targeted method for processing distressing memories and stuck emotional patterns. It combines guided attention with structured techniques to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and related anxiety when talking alone feels insufficient.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. David works collaboratively with clients and other registered professionals to determine which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place via video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and comfort levels. This range of formats makes it easier to access consistent support from a qualified therapist regardless of location, while allowing therapy to adapt to each client’s life and pace.
