"We cant change the past, but we CAN change the way we FEEL about the past..."
Hello, my name is David and I am a qualified counsellor and member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP). I work in an integrative/pluralistic way, which means I use various therapeutic styles either individually or a combination of styles, with a strong emphasis on Person Centred therapy that puts you at the heart of our work together.
Counselling gives you an opportunity to speak openly in a safe and completely confidential space to someone who really listens, who is trained to do so and who empathises and values you, unconditionally and without judgement.
I am passionate about my work, and I will do my utmost to give you the highest level of personal therapy tailored to suit you and your needs. I can offer you a chance to unload from your mind some of the troubles and issues that have been getting you down or holding you back, and help you view them in a new light.
Together we can work through any issues, going at your pace, and I will support you through the whole process with warmth and empathy. I am here for you.
I offer an initial 30-minute assessment in which we can look at your needs and discuss the way I work which will then give you a sense of whether or not you wish to pursue further sessions. I work with adults either face-to-face, online (Zoom/Skype), telephone, outdoors walk and talk, or if your home has a confidential space I am happy to do home visits.
Everything we talk about is confidential and always non-judgemental.
I know that life is no fairytale, and it doesn't always work out how we expect, and sometimes it's hard to come to terms with this.
My aim is to help you find acceptance of yourself and your circumstances, and enable you to gain a greater understanding of yourself.

• Anxiety
• Bereavement
• Loss
• Anger
• Depression
• Relationship issues
• Family problems
• Work or employment struggles
• Self esteem
• Past event/Childhood trauma
