About me

Are you looking for someone to talk to in confidence to explore or share your situation?

I'm David, an experienced person-centred counsellor and psychotherapist and I aim to provide a safe, trusting and confidential environment and relationship where you can talk about whatever you wish without the fear of judgement or rejection.

I will really hear and see you as an individual as I believe that each person and situation is unique; I am calm, accepting and understanding. I will work together with you to explore whatever is concerning you, helping you to gain insight, understanding and discover inner resources to do what’s right for you.

The initial consultation will provide an opportunity for you to talk about what you are hoping to gain from counselling, get a feel for how I work, discuss any concerns or queries you may have and for us to decide whether we would like to work together as it's important for you to feel comfortable with your counsellor.

Sessions last  50 minutes, generally at an agreed time each week, however the number required and frequency  will vary from person to person dependent on their different needs.

If you’re interested in exploring having counselling with me or have any questions then please get in contact by phone, text or email, I look forward to hearing from you.

I have experience of  working with a wide range of people and issues in a variety of settings within Social Services and the Voluntary Sector.  This includes working one to one, in groups, and with young people and adults. I  worked in an overseas community setting for several years which gave me insight into different cultural perspectives.

Even if you don't find your particular situation listed below that doesn't mean I can't assist you,  please contact me.
