Does life feel difficult or challenging for you right now?

Do ordinary life tasks seem overwhelming?

Are you trying to find a way to navigate your path?

Perhaps you considering alternative paths to parenthood?

Hi, I'm David and I'd like to help.

I am an experienced therapist using an integrative approach to counselling.  Primarily I work using a person-centred approach and combine aspects of psychodynamic theory.  I have an interest in psychosocial and attachment theory, CBT, Transactional analysis and Transpersonal theory.

I am passionate about your physical, emotional, spiritual and mental well-being.  

I am a member of the LGBTQIA+ community and have experience in fertility complexities, sexual identity, Surrogacy, and alternative routes to parenthood.  

I have experience volunteering with a low-cost counselling service and I believe in accessible therapy for all.  I offer a certain number of reduced rate sessions online for those who might not otherwise be able to afford therapy.

I am an empathic and compassionate therapist who believes in equality and positive mental health.  You deserve to live your best life.  

I feel the key to a successful therapeutic relationship is how you and I will work together to create a safe space in which to work and explore your thoughts and feelings.  Therapy is something that you participate in and not be subjected to.    

I offer telephone, online, or face to face sessions locally on a weekly basis.  

Low cost therapy is currently available online, please contact me for details.

Online & Telephone counselling is currently £60.

Face to face therapy is currently £70.

Prior to our first session we will have up to a 20-30 minute phone call to discuss what brings you to therapy and what you hope to gain from it.  I will explain a little more about how I work and we can use this time to decide if we can work together and if we are the right fit for each other.  If we are not, I will happily signpost you according to your needs.  

If we decide to proceed with therapy I will send you an assessment form to complete.  I will also send you a contract and a working alliance which is how you and I plan to work together.  The therapeutic process is very much us working together for you and in no way judgemental.  I appreciate that the term assessment might feel that way but it is a way of understanding you a little bit more. 

Subsequent sessions can be time-limited or open-ended and last for 50 minutes.
