About David

David Sullivan is a counsellor with four years of practice and a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. He is a member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP). David aims to make therapy approachable and practical for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or low mood.

He works in a straightforward way to help people understand themselves better. Sessions often focus on day-to-day problems such as relationship difficulty, parenting strain, anger or loneliness.

Background and approach

He also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, identity questions and issues linked to sexuality or discrimination. David draws on several psychotherapy approaches so the work fits each person. He uses person-centred ideas to look at what matters in the here and now.

He also uses psychodynamic and Jungian perspectives to explore how past experiences and inner patterns affect current life. Many people come to him wanting clearer communication, stronger self-esteem, or help coping with life changes like work pressure or social media stressors. He offers coaching-style help when clients want practical steps as well as space to reflect.

Sessions are kept simple and conversational. David aims to create a calm place where people feel heard and can try out new ways of coping. He believes respectful, individualised counselling helps people move toward what matters to them.

How different approaches work online

Client-centred therapy focuses on building a respectful, listening relationship. Online sessions using this approach help people speak about what matters now and find their own solutions. Jungian therapy pays attention to symbols, dreams and deeper personal themes, which can help when people want to understand recurring life patterns or identity questions. Psychodynamic therapy looks at how past relationships and experiences influence present feelings and behaviour, and it can be useful for long-standing issues like low self-esteem or repeated relationship difficulties.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the journey. The counsellor will work with each person to decide which ideas suit their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can change over time as needs shift.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different lives. Video calls let you use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a shorter break at work. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer typing or want brief ongoing check-ins. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent even when life is busy.
