About David
NCPS. David Wilson has nine years of counselling experience and works from the United Kingdom. He works with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief and loss, parenting concerns and relationship and intimacy-related issues. He also supports people coping with life changes, ADHD, anger, career questions, compassion fatigue and other concerns listed below.
David uses an integrative approach and draws on several ways of working. He mentions Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Existential and Psychodynamic ideas. In sessions he aims to listen, reflect and use practical techniques when they help.
He has experience helping people who have faced emotional abuse, affairs, separation and divorce. He has worked with those managing addiction, procrastination, low motivation and parenting stresses, including parents of highly sensitive children.
David speaks English, Dutch, German and Italian at differing levels and notes knowledge of European cultures and countries. He counsels EU-based people in English only and does not take international clients outside the United Kingdom.
Sessions are intended to be conversational with focused tools added as needed. He combines talking therapies with exercises from CBT and DBT when suitable. The aim is practical change alongside understanding how patterns developed.
To begin, prospective clients are invited to follow the site process to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session. The counsellor uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time and fees vary with location.
Approaches used in online counselling and what they involve
David draws on Client-Centred Therapy which focuses on listening and reflecting to help people find their own solutions; it is helpful for improving self-esteem and getting clearer about feelings. He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical exercises that change behaviour and mood. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) techniques are used at times for managing strong emotions and building coping skills.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and together you will choose which methods to use. That choice can change over time as sessions progress and new issues come up.
Confirm the session formats available before booking as the biography does not specify formats here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a day by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins around work breaks and offering options when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Many clients find it helps maintain continuity of care while using practical tools from CBT, DBT and Client-Centred Therapy in a collaborative way.
