About me and my therapy practice
My name is David and I am fully qualified and registered psychotherapist (BA Hons, PG Dip)
I work with young people and adults, including higher education students. My approach is based on careful listening to you creating a genuine, kind and supportive connection with you. This creates the possibility of more understanding of your life and your self and the ability to grow and create a better life for yourself.
I work primarily with individuals on an open-ended basis or for an agreed time period, with the aim of enabling you to enhance your life and to live it more fully. I can offer both person-centred and solution-focused sessions, according to each client's particular needs.
I am experienced in helping clients with wide ranging difficulties including:
Depression
Suicidal ideation
Responses to trauma
Anxiety
Loss and bereavement
Sexual assault and abuse
Physical and emotional abuse
Substance mis-use and self harming
It is possible that a small number of sessions can be enough to work through a current issue and establish a better future.
Alternatively, working in an open ended way can work at a deeper level and gain greater insight and self awareness into what troubles us. Which approach to take is what works for you. If you commit to say, six or twelve sessions, this may be enough for you and you can always extend, if this seems helpful.
Being listened to in a safe, non-judgmental and confidential environment can itself start to bring a sense of relief and freedom.
Practice description
I am currently offering short and long-term therapy, working face to face and by video, (Zoom). I also offer walking therapy in a local park, during daylight hours, subject to weather conditions.
My first session
This is an opportunity for you talk about what is bringing you to therapy and what you want to get out of it, (although these things can change during the therapy itself).
