David Stockwell

I am currently offering to work in person or remotely (video or telephone calls).

Why counselling?

I offer psychoanalytic psychotherapy for individuals.

My approach is respectful of individual difference and is aimed at reaching the underlying causes of suffering.

In examining what is unique to our history and our challenges, therapy creates an opportunity for changing what most troubles us.

Where do I begin?

Following a brief introductory phone call, I find it beneficial to have an initial consultation where we can work together to determine whether therapy is appropriate, and also whether you feel comfortable working with me.

There’s no obligation to proceed beyond this point. If we do decide to work together, whether for a short time or in an open-ended manner, we can review our progress regularly.

I am member of the Guild of Psychotherapists and a full clinical member of the UKCP.

I also hold a Diploma in Psychodynamic Counselling from The Counselling Centre, a BACP accredited training institution with over 30 years of experience.

I work to the BACP's Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy and Professional Conduct Procedures.

I draw from a variety of psychoanalytic traditions with an emphasis on Lacan.
