About Davinia
Davinia Eccleston is a BACP counsellor with six years' experience. She offers a calm space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, loss, or past trauma. She meets individuals who need someone to listen without judgement and who want practical steps to feel steadier.
Davinia draws on a mix of approaches to suit each person. She uses client-centred ideas to follow what matters most to the person in the room.
Background and approach
She also brings cognitive behavioural techniques to help spot unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments that can make a difference. Her background includes work in NHS clinical leadership and as a counsellor within GP practice. That experience informs how she plans sessions and keeps them focused on realistic goals.
It also means she is used to helping people manage everyday pressures and health-related concerns. In sessions Davinia listens closely and gives full attention to each person’s story. She aims to create an environment where people feel able to share difficult memories or strong feelings.
She helps people name what they are facing and find practical ways to cope. She is comfortable using solution-focused and trauma-informed tools when needed. Those methods are used to build small, workable changes and to process painful experiences at a pace the person chooses.
She also supports issues such as parenting strain, work stress, identity concerns, grief and addiction-related difficulties. Sessions are available in English and Davinia accepts international clients. People are invited to begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and arranging appointments that suit their schedule.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Davinia draws on client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy as core ways of working online. Client-centred counselling means the session follows what the person brings and the counsellor listens with empathy to understand their priorities. This helps when someone needs space to talk through confusing feelings or long-standing worries.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and trying small practical experiments to change them. Online CBT sessions can include setting simple tasks between meetings and reviewing what worked. These approaches are useful for managing anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and day-to-day stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try different methods and agree what feels most helpful. That collaborative process means the plan can change if a different style suits better over time.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit around a busy day and use less bandwidth. Live chat or messaging can be used for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options offer flexibility so people can fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
