David Dodd

I offer warm, supportive psychotherapy and counselling for adults who may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, or struggling with relationships, self-esteem, or life changes.

My approach is integrative, which means I tailor therapy to you rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Together, we can explore what is happening, understand the patterns that may be holding you back, and work towards meaningful, lasting change.

I work exclusively online, via secure video or telephone, offering flexible access to therapy from the comfort of your own space.

I aim to provide a safe, non-judgemental space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported at a pace that feels right for you.

I am an accredited integrative psychotherapist and counsellor with extensive experience across clinical and private practice settings. 

Alongside my private practice, I currently work with Bupa and The Priory, supporting adults with a broad range of emotional, relational and psychological difficulties, including complex and co-occurring presentations.

I have completed over 4,000 supervised clinical hours and work online via secure video or telephone. My experience includes anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, emotional dysregulation, loss, life transitions, intrusive thoughts, and longstanding patterns affecting daily life and relationships.

My integrative approach allows me to tailor therapy to each client’s needs, history and goals, drawing on different therapeutic models rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. I aim to offer a thoughtful, collaborative and clinically informed space where clients feel understood, supported and able to explore difficult experiences safely.

I am also an approved provider for AXA Health, Aviva, Vitality, Healix and WPA.

I offer a free 30-minute initial consultation, giving us an opportunity to talk through what has brought you to therapy, the difficulties you are currently experiencing, and what you would like support with.

Where appropriate, I may also use brief clinical measures to help build a clearer picture of your current needs. Most importantly, this first conversation gives us both the opportunity to see whether we feel comfortable working together and whether my approach feels right for you.

There is no pressure or obligation to continue, it is simply a chance to ask questions, understand how therapy may help, and consider the next steps together.
