About me and my therapy practice

Hello, I’m David. I am a BACP registered counsellor offering a safe space for you to explore and overcome emotional problems or mental distress you may be experiencing. I currently offer face-to-face counselling but if it works better for you, I can also offer telephone/Zoom counselling.

About the way I work?

I will provide, to the best of my ability, counselling opportunities that endeavour to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment in which you will be given time and space to understand and gain insight into your situation. This process can foster growth and lead to positive change in your life.

Practice description

What is Counselling?

Counselling provides an opportunity to explore a personal difficulty in a confidential and supportive environment. This may include expressing feelings that are painful, and which many of us experience at certain times in our life. When this happens, it can be difficult to stay positive and cope with everyday life. Counselling gives you the opportunity to access counselling support at a time and in a place which is convenient to you.

What sort of issues can I contact you about?

Counselling may be able to help with a wide range of issues including but not limited to burnout, abuse, anxiety, stress, depression, eating difficulties, loneliness, relationship problems, bereavement, self-esteem, sexual orientation, sexual abuse, discrimination, pet bereavement and many more.

My first session

I believe choice is especially important for you as the client in finding the right counsellor. In the first instance we would have a free 30 minute initial consultation discussion to explore what I offer and my therapeutic approach to see if it would be helpful for you. If you then want to proceed, we would meet weekly at the same time and place for either blocks of six sessions or open-ended. We can discuss this when we begin and review as we progress. Each session lasts 50 minutes and costs £50.
