About David
David Parker is a counsellor with a background registered through the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He brings 12 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and major life changes.

Clients can expect a conversational style that focuses on what matters to them. Sessions are shaped around the person's goals and day-to-day needs.
Background and approach
David uses plain language and practical steps to help people manage worry, low mood and the effects of past harm. His work covers attachment and abandonment concerns, relationship communication problems, and issues around commitment and control. He also supports people dealing with body image, aspects of neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome, and the stresses of caregiving and illness.
David draws on a mix of approaches including client-centred work, cognitive behavioural ideas, Jungian thinking, mindfulness practices and psychodynamic perspectives. He explains options clearly and links techniques to the problems people bring to sessions. Sessions happen online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different needs and rhythms.
People are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and book sessions at times that suit them.

Approaches that fit online therapy
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding. It helps people feel heard and supported while they work out their own solutions, and it suits concerns like low mood, relationship difficulties and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and clear steps to reduce anxiety and manage unhelpful patterns, which can be taught and practised during online sessions.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and bring steadiness in stressful moments. Those techniques can be used between appointments to help with worry and rumination.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences, and then suggest methods to try. This is a collaborative process and can change as progress is made.
Online formats - video, phone, live chat and text messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls are useful for a fuller face-to-face feel. Phone sessions can be quicker and need less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins or times when typing feels easier. These options offer flexibility so people can choose what works best for them.
