About me and my therapy practice
Overcome Your Inner Battles and Thrive
Hello. I'm David Pender, a committed anxiety specialist with a deep-seated passion for guiding individuals through the complex landscape of anxiety. My extensive experience, paired with a compassionate approach, enables me to empower clients who wish to gain insight into their anxiety. I also equip you with the tools necessary for effective life management.
My mission is to foster growth, enabling individuals to lead fulfilling, balanced lives. We all need to feel heard, accepted and understood. Purpose, meaning, and gratitude are not luxuries; these practices tap into what it means to be human.
They tap directly into our hardwired need for connection to ourselves, others, and something greater than our current struggle for fulfilment.
My practice is dedicated to offering a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore and heal the fears that limit you, uncover the roots of your self-talk, and confront the thoughts that keep you awake at night.
Understanding the Multifaceted Nature of Anxiety
Anxiety is a multifaceted condition that can arise from a blend of genetic factors, environmental influences, and personal experiences. Each individual's journey with anxiety is unique and shaped by their circumstances and backgrounds. By delving into these varied origins, we can create tailored interventions that resonate with each client’s specific situation, enhancing the effectiveness of our therapeutic efforts.
Confronting Anxiety with Confidence
A pivotal strategy in managing anxiety is facing it directly rather than shying away. Engaging with our fears in a structured and supportive setting can diminish their hold on our lives. This proactive stance fosters resilience and empowers individuals to reclaim their autonomy. Learning to navigate anxiety head-on paves the way for personal growth and greater emotional strength and control.
The Transformative Power of Seeking Support
Pursuing professional assistance for anxiety unlocks a wealth of benefits. It creates a sanctuary where clients can safely explore their emotions while accessing evidence-based techniques and consistent support. With the right guidance, clients can learn to effectively manage their symptoms, enhance their overall well-being, and significantly improve their quality of life.
Through fostering a deeper understanding of anxiety and advocating for proactive management strategies, I am devoted to assisting my clients to achieve a more harmonious and fulfilling existence. Together, we can embark on a transformative journey towards mental wellness.

Areas of Specialization
Developing Self-Care Matters: Taking care of our mental health should be a daily practice. Just as we prioritise physical exercise, good nutrition, and hygiene, we must allocate time for self-care. This could be through activities like meditation, time in nature, or reading a book. When done regularly in connection with therapy, these small acts can significantly contribute to our mental well-being, promoting good mental health.
Fears That Limit You: Together, we will identify the fears that hold you back from living your fullest life and develop strategies to overcome them.
The Root of Your Self-Talk: Uncover the origins of your inner dialogue and reshape it into a more positive and empowering narrative.
The Thoughts That Keep You Awake at Night: Address anxiety and overthinking by learning techniques to calm your mind and find peace.
Childhood Wounds: Heal from past traumas that continue to impact your present, fostering resilience and growth.
Past Relationships That Hurt You: Process and recover from relationships that have caused pain, enabling you to move forward confidently and clearly.
Grudges You Hold: Work through unresolved anger and learn to let go, freeing yourself from the burden of past grievances.
Internalised Shame & Guilt: Address feelings of shame and guilt that undermine your self-worth, fostering a healthier self-image.
Collaborative Goal Setting: We'll define and work towards your aspirations.

Why Choose Me:
Choosing the right counsellor is a deeply personal decision. With years of experience and a genuine commitment to your well-being, I am here to support you every step of the way. Let’s work together to transform pain into power and create the life you deserve.

My first session
“We will meet for an initial consultation session. This session will be dedicated to understanding your needs and expectations, discussing my approach to therapy, and formulating a plan should we proceed with further sessions.
Appointments can be conducted online. I possess substantial experience and training in online therapy, which I regard as an effective therapeutic method for numerous clients. Consequently, I advocate for online therapy when it is the chosen method.”
We work on an open-ended basis, and all that is required is seven days' notice of termination when you want to take a break.
• Appointments are priced at a very reasonable £60 per session.
• Payment is by BACS weekly in advance before each session.
