More about David

  • 3 years' experience
  • Male
  • NCPS

Hello, I am a qualified and accredited psychotherapeutic counsellor working privately, having previously provided counselling in the NHS psychological therapy (IAPT) service. I support and work with clients on a range of issues on a short, medium and long term basis, including Anxiety & Stress, Depression , Abuse, Anger, Relationship, Self Confidence, Social Anxiety, Self Esteem and Workplace Issues.

The decision to start counselling can be daunting and I view the relationship between the client and counsellor as being one of the key foundations to enable the establishment of a safe, trusting and supportive environment. This will be your confidential space to bring what is important to you.

My personal and professional background has given me the opportunity to engage with many people from different backgrounds, enabling me to experience a variety of situations and outcomes. I would love to give you the opportunity to bring your own challenges and difficulties in a safe, trusting and confidential space.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
