About me

Hi I'm David. I work with diverse clients with diverse reasons for seeking therapy. Working one to one with adults, I provide a warm and inclusive, confidential space that is sensitive to you and your needs.

We all possess the capacity to self-heal, but sometimes these resources within us become blocked. In a safe and supportive relationship we can start to become aware of what might be restricting us, start to remove these barriers, and allow our own resources and strengths to emerge.

My practice is based in Hackney, as well as online.

Training, qualifications & experience

What to expect

I recognise that every person is unique and I will work with you to tailor how we work together to you personally.

An essential part of this is in creating a safe environment for you to explore whatever is on your mind without judgement.

You can attend without preparing anything and we can explore what you are experiencing at your own pace.

With you at the centre of our work, we can explore what will help you in the short term and have longer term impact.

Experience

I have significant experience in providing therapy through various services across London and in private practice working with issues such as:

Depression / Anxiety / Bereavement / Low self-esteem / Loneliness / Burnout and work-stress / Relationship problems / Intimacy / Social anxiety / Family issues / ADHD / Childhood trauma / Complex PTSD / Sexual abuse / Emotional abuse / Sexual identity / Gender identity / Dissociation / Perfectionism / Creative blocks / Personal development / Health / Sleep / Sex / Addiction / Obsessive thoughts / Critical thoughts / Intrusive thoughts

I also have experience working with LGBTQIA+ clients, global majority clients, and neurodiverse clients - all communities I am keen to support.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).

Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).

Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.

Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.

All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.

Accredited register membership

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
Accredited Register Scheme

The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).

This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

Key details

DBS check

In England and Wales, the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS, formerly known as CRB) carry out criminal records checks for individuals working with vulnerable groups, such as children. To find out more, visit gov.uk , or contact this professional directly

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
