About David
David Sullivan is a counsellor who believes counselling can help people change things that feel stuck. He aims to create a calm space where worries can be talked through. He works with stress, anxiety and depression and also helps with relationship and intimacy concerns.
He supports people who are dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, and those coping with life changes. He also addresses self-esteem, identity and issues linked to sexuality and gender.
Background and approach
David brings sensitivity to problems such as anger, loneliness and compassion fatigue. David uses person-centred ways of working alongside psychodynamic ideas. That means some sessions focus on the present and what a person needs now, while other sessions look at patterns from earlier life and relationships.
He adapts his approach to suit each person rather than using one fixed method. He has a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and is a member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists, listed as BACP. He has four years of experience in the field and has worked with people dealing with modern pressures like social media and gaming.
Sessions are practical and conversational. David aims to help people notice what is holding them back and to take small, manageable steps forward. He wants counselling to feel straightforward and worth the effort.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful therapeutic relationship. It helps people who need a calm, accepting space to talk through anxiety, stress or identity questions. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past relationships and early patterns shape current feelings and behaviour. It can be useful for people who want to understand repeated difficulties in relationships or persistent emotional patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. David will talk with each person about their goals, worries and preferences and will help decide which way of working feels best. That choice is collaborative and can change over time as needs shift.
Online therapy here offers a range of practical formats: video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are close to face-to-face meetings and work well for deeper discussions. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins or times when writing feels easier. These options make counselling more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and daily life.
