David-John Cooke

I offer counselling online and by phone. I also have some slots available for face-to-face sessions. Feel free to get in touch with your best availability so that we can find a time that works for you.

Hello! I'm glad you're here.

Beginning therapy can be a deeply personal decision, so it's important to take time to find a therapist who best suits your needs. I'm happy to tell you about how I work.

I provide a compassionate, non-judgmental and non-directive space for you freely explore the issues impacting you in your life.

My aim is to work with you to create a safe and collaborative space where you can explore the uncomfortable or hidden parts of yourself, to help you to self-awareness and self-acceptance, and to help you grow and develop on your own terms.

My particular areas of interest include gender and sexuality, addiction, and trauma. I have worked with a wide range of issues including self-harm, appearance and identity, eating disorders, family and relationship difficulties, and workplace problems.

 Whatever has led you to seek help, be it something for your past or a present-day obstacle, you will be met with respect and empathy. You will be taken seriously and valued as the individual you are.

I undertake regular training and development to ensure I am informed and up-to-date in my work.

I offer a free thirty-minute assessment for us to discuss your aims, hopes, and concerns for therapy. This is an opportunity for you to discuss what's led you to seek support at this time in your life, and to ask any questions you may have about myself, my training, and how I work.

My hope is that this time will help you to get a sense of how we could work together. Should we agree to proceed, we would then arrange a time and day to meet each week.
