David is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. David takes a humanistic, relational approach that follows what the person brings.
How David works
Sessions are client-centred and often focus on feelings and present experience. He works in a curious, gentle way and pays attention to how the body and sensations carry meaning. He describes therapy as a shared journey where people can make sense of past events and find ways to move forward.
Childhood experiences and attachment patterns are explored when relevant, with an aim to close unfinished chapters and strengthen internal resources. The work is non-judgemental and LGBTQI+ affirmative. David combines emotionally-focused, existential and Jungian ideas with somatic awareness.
That means sessions may look at emotional bonds, life meaning and symbolic material alongside bodily sensations. He encourages practical ways to cope and small steps that fit each person’s life. With seven years' experience and a postgraduate BACP qualification, David also holds training in online and telephone counselling.
He uses those skills to offer video, phone, chat and messaging sessions. People can expect a calm, attentive presence and an emphasis on what matters to them now.

How David's Approaches Work Online
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of sessions and encourages honest, non-directive conversation to help people find their own solutions. This approach is useful for anxiety, self-esteem and life changes where someone needs a steady, listening presence.Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on feelings and attachment needs. In online sessions this can help people notice patterns in relationships and practise new ways of expressing emotion during video or phone work.
The therapist will work with the client to decide which approach or mix of ideas fits best. That decision is a collaboration based on the person’s goals, how they prefer to work and what comes up in early sessions. The therapist pays attention to what feels most helpful and adapts the style over time.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls suit those who want face-to-face interaction, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be simpler to join, while live chat or messaging can be useful for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options allow registered or accredited professionals to offer flexible ways to maintain continuity and work through concerns over time.
