About David

David Dunlevy works as an online counsellor and brings four years of experience to his practice. He uses practical talking therapy to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression and relationship worries. He also supports those coping with grief, trauma, addictions and parenting strain.

He aims for clear, straightforward sessions where people feel heard without judgement. David draws on approaches such as acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioural ideas, emotionally-focused work and client-centred listening.

Background and approach

Sessions tend to focus on what feels most relevant to the person he is seeing. David has a BACP registration, which is recorded in his professional details. He works from the United Kingdom and holds online sessions in English.

International clients are not currently accepted. In a typical session David helps people notice unhelpful patterns and try small changes. He will listen, reflect, and offer practical exercises to try between appointments.

This can include looking at thoughts, emotions and how they affect behaviour. People come to him for a range of issues including anger, low self-esteem, intimacy concerns, attachment difficulties and isolation. He can also support those dealing with compassion fatigue, forgiveness work, young adult challenges and self-harm thoughts.

To begin, clients follow the site’s start process and complete a short matching questionnaire. David then meets people online by scheduling sessions that fit with their availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, then choose actions that match their values. ACT can suit people dealing with anxiety, stress or life changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect, and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for low mood, anxiety and coping with difficult situations.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. David will talk with each person about what they want to achieve and try methods that fit those goals. This is a collaborative process and adjustments can be made as progress is reviewed.

Online therapy gives flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow a face-to-face style session while phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited or a camera is not wanted. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or pacing support across the week. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments, while letting people choose the format that feels most practical for them.
