About David
David Dunlevy is a counsellor working online from the United Kingdom. He holds BACP accreditation and has four years of experience offering remote therapy for a range of emotional and practical concerns. David focuses on clear, steady support delivered in short, manageable sessions that fit into daily life.
He helps people who are dealing with anxiety, stress, depression and addictions. He also offers support around grief and bereavement, including pregnancy and baby loss.
How David works
People turn to him for help with relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strains, anger and self-esteem difficulties. David uses a mix of approaches chosen to suit each person. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and client-centred work.
Sessions aim to clarify what matters to the client and build small, practical changes that feel doable. In early sessions he listens for patterns, values and goals. Later work may focus on rebuilding connection, practicing new ways of coping, or changing unhelpful thinking.
He will also support people facing compassion fatigue, isolation and issues tied to attachment and communication. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. To begin, the site matching process asks a few questions and then you can schedule according to his availability.
The subscription model is flexible and can be cancelled at any time.

Practical therapy approaches for online support
David commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in his work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values; it can help with anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on emotions and attachment patterns, helping people identify unmet emotional needs and build different ways of responding in relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the process. He will discuss different methods and work together with each person to pick what feels most helpful for their goals and situation. This collaborative stance means plans can change as progress is made.
Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video calls allow a face-to-face style session from wherever the client is. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and suit those who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for quick check-ins, shorter reflections between sessions or when someone needs to fit support around a busy schedule.
