About David
David Francis is a counsellor with four years' experience working with people facing stress and anxiety. He holds BACP accreditation, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and offers sessions in English from the United Kingdom. David aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what matters most to them.
He uses an integrative approach that draws on several therapeutic traditions. That means he chooses practical ways of working that fit each person's situation rather than following a single method.
Background and approach
Common concerns he supports include relationship problems, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes. Sessions also address issues such as addictions, grief, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related worries. David helps with everyday pressures like control issues, communication problems, isolation and jealousy.
He can also talk through deeper patterns linked to attachment, abandonment and avoidant personality traits. In therapy he works in a straightforward, collaborative way. Conversations can include looking at thoughts and behaviours, noticing patterns from the past, and practising simple mindfulness skills to reduce stress.
He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging to fit different needs. People begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling sessions that suit them. David aims to move at a pace the person is comfortable with while focusing on small, practical steps that make daily life easier.
How these approaches work online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence present-day feelings and reactions. Online sessions can help people recognise those patterns and try new ways of connecting and trusting. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and habits by using clear, practical exercises that are easy to practise between sessions. Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the work and emphasises listening, acceptance and collaboration.Finding the right fit is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose approaches that match their goals and preferences, mixing methods where helpful and reviewing progress as therapy continues.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging, offering flexibility for different situations. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone is useful when bandwidth is limited, and messaging can suit short check-ins or ongoing reflection. These options make it easier to arrange sessions around work, family and travel, while keeping therapy accessible across the United Kingdom.
