I am a person centered (client centered) therapist in the UK with 6 years of practice experience. Prior to that I volunteered with a bereavement charity specialising in providing one to one face to face support to those experiencing issues with bereavement and loss.
I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD, bereavement and loss.
I am what might be described as a more ‘mature’ counsellor, having spent many years working in other fields and gaining much life experience before training as a counsellor. My therapy style is warm and interactive. I will treat everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My core approach is person centered, which believes in offering all clients empathy, and a non-judgemental experience. I will use other approaches as the need may arise such as cognitive-behavioural.
My approach believes that everyone has the capability to make the changes and improvements they wish to make to lead them to a happier way of living, when the correct environment and support is provided for them.

David was pivotal in guiding me through a really difficult time in my life. His kind and reassuring presence helped me learn to trust my inner voice again. After only a few sessions I had the courage to make significant changes in my life that I had been struggling to approach for a long while.
Getting therapy has really been so important and I am so incredibly grateful to David for everything he has done for me.
I also had such fun speaking each week! I really enjoyed David's relaxed conversational style and amidst some challenging times it was nice to have a bit of a laugh about it all now and then!
Thank you again for everything - I will continue to 'just be' and commit to being as present as I can.
