Background and approach
David follows a person-centred, humanistic style. Sessions are gentle and based on the client's pace. He listens for what matters most and pays attention to feelings and bodily sensations that arise in the moment.
The aim is to help people make sense of their experiences and draw on their own resources to move forward. His work is relational and non-judgemental. He takes an LGBTQI+ affirmative stance and recognises neurodiversity as difference rather than disorder.
David is curious about how early experiences shape present behaviour and relationships, and he helps people name unfinished business that still affects them. Practical methods David uses include emotionally-focused and somatic ways of noticing feelings, and existential and Jungian ideas to explore meaning and personal symbols. He has training in online and telephone counselling and offers sessions via several remote formats.
Clients can expect respectful conversation that aims to increase understanding and choice. David brings seven years of professional practice to his work. He supports people in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English.
How therapeutic approaches work online
David combines person-centred listening with emotionally-focused and somatic approaches to help people understand feelings and bodily responses. Client-Centred Therapy places the person and their experience at the centre and helps build safety to talk about difficult topics. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on identifying and naming emotions to improve how people regulate feelings and relate to others. Somatic Therapy pays attention to sensations in the body and uses gentle noticing to release held tension and support emotional processing.Finding the right approach is a shared project. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods suit the client's goals, preferences and practical needs. Sessions can include talking, noticing bodily signals, and reflecting on patterns that show up in relationships and daily life.
Online work can be flexible and practical. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when seeing facial cues matters. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break in a busy day. Live chat or text-based messaging suits people who prefer typing to speaking and who want ongoing check-ins. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to choose what fits a person's routine and comfort.
