About David
David began practising in 2019, initially as a placement student for his diploma and later as a paid practitioner. His work has included private practice and collaborations with the NHS and online services, accumulating over 800 hours of client experience under regular supervision, which he conducts every two weeks. He has supported people with stress and anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief and loss especially relating to children, and challenges connected to life changes.
Working in a person-centred way, David treats clients as the experts on their own lives, offering attentive listening, reflection, reframing, and clarification to help people explore their situation. He emphasises respect, sensitivity, and compassion, creating a supportive space for clients to discuss what matters to them. He supports clients in exploring options without directing choices, recognising that therapy is personal and that connection with a therapist matters. If a client and therapist do not feel like a good fit after some sessions, David encourages clients to prioritise what is best for them and will work collaboratively to support their next steps.

Approaches for Online Support and Practical Change
Client-Centred Therapy is at the core of David’s work and focuses on understanding the client’s perspective by offering empathic listening and unconditional positive regard. This approach helps people who need space to explore emotions, identity, relationships, and life transitions at their own pace.
Solution-Focused Therapy complements that work by concentrating on practical goals and small, achievable steps toward change. It is useful for clients seeking clear strategies to manage stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, or day-to-day problems.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and David works collaboratively with clients to identify what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. He discusses options, adapts methods as therapy progresses, and helps clients decide which combination of person-centred exploration and solution-focused planning best supports their aims.
Online therapy sessions with David are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options allow clients to access registered professionals from home or other convenient locations, making it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
