Background and approach

He adapts the pace to fit each person so progress feels manageable and not rushed. David uses a person-centred way of working. That means the conversation follows what matters to the individual and builds on their own strengths.

He also draws on solution-focused ideas to help set small, achievable goals and track progress between sessions. Over three years he has worked with issues such as relationships, family stresses, career uncertainty, anger, low self-esteem and depression. He also offers support for people dealing with chronic illness, caregiving strain, separation, and challenges linked to autism and hearing impairment.

Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. Fees vary by location and a subscription model is used which can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients choose the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How his approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor follows what matters to the person and supports them to find their own answers. This approach helps when someone needs space to make sense of feelings like anxiety, grief or uncertainty.

Solution-Focused Therapy aims for small, practical steps. Sessions look for what is already working and build short-term goals to move forward. This can be useful for tackling stress, career decisions, communication problems and moments when change feels needed.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together they will decide which methods to try. Sessions can mix listening and goal-focused tools so the plan fits the person's situation.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people read facial cues and keep a close conversational feel. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter updates, written reflection, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, family or other commitments while keeping the same therapeutic focus.
