David Gibbons

At my counselling and psychotherapy practice in Carlisle, I offer you the opportunity to talk about things that you find difficult in life and in relationships. I offer affordable emotional support and practical help to enable you to understand and, as a result, overcome some of life’s difficulties.

I work both long and short term with adult and adolescent men, women and couples. My main training is in Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy, but I have also trained in counselling for children and adolescents. Also I am trained in working with severe and complex traumas and suicide.

My Therapy room is a comfortable, private, confidential, safe and supportive space. You can bring any issues, worries, concerns here. Only you know what life is like for you. However, If you choose to come to therapy, I will work empathically alongside you. As a result, I will help you make a space in which you can explore the changes you would like to make. Following this you will be able to put change into action at a pace that is right for you.

If you would like to book a half price consultation, get in touch.

A critical element in the success of therapy is the working relationship between client and therapist. This is the reason that I offer a first session at £40:00. This will help both you and I decide if we are best suited to working together.

I am also happy to answer any question you may have about therapy. Click on the links above to find out more about ways of working, fill in my contact form or call me for a chat on 07976 667280.

I have availability on Monday Mornings and Thursday afternoons, offering monthly supervision sessions of 90 minutes. 

I am a psychotherapist and supervisor using Transactional Analysis but with a supervision diploma to work across modalities. 

My main modality is Transactional Analysis but the basis of my supervision style and psychotherapy skills are centred on integrative, humanistic and relational values with the belief that all human beings have the potential to thrive and succeed in a supportive and optimum environment.

If you are curious about experiencing supervision with me, please contact me today via my email. 

I bring ten years of experience of counselling and psychotherapy practice to my supervision work, with over 10,000 hours of therapy delivered in a busy solo practice in Carlisle.

I work with self-referred clients as well as accepting referrals from local General Practice Surgeries, Social Services and charities. 

Iniital meetings for supervision are 50 minutes and can be used to assess if working together will be beneficial for both parties.
