About David

David Willett is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. He supports people dealing with addiction, depression, stress, anxiety, anger and low self-esteem. He aims to treat everyone with respect and compassion while adapting his approach to each person's needs.

He focuses on practical, down-to-earth conversations that help people make small, doable changes. Sessions are shaped around what matters to the client, whether that is reducing harmful habits, managing mood, or improving self-worth.

Background and approach

David listens for patterns that get in the way and helps people try different ways of responding. David has worked with a wide range of difficulties linked to relationships, control, and compulsive behaviour. That includes issues such as body image struggles, codependency, commitment and communication problems, and process addictions like problematic porn use, gambling or exercise.

He also supports people facing guilt, loneliness, life-purpose questions and end-of-life concerns. His style is empathetic and straightforward. He aims to spell out clear steps and review progress together.

The goal is to leave each session with something practical to try between meetings. Sessions are offered in English and David accepts international clients. He works online using video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to availability.

Practical approaches and online therapy options

Many clients benefit from evidence-based techniques that focus on changing behaviours and improving daily routines. One useful approach targets addictive behaviours by breaking tasks into small steps, addressing triggers and building alternative habits to reduce harm. This kind of work helps with process addictions, drug and alcohol problems, and other repetitive behaviours.

Another common approach focuses on mood and anxiety by teaching simple skills for managing worry, low mood and stress. That includes checking unhelpful thoughts, trying different coping responses and planning manageable activities to lift mood. These methods suit people dealing with depression, anxiety, anger or low self-esteem.

Finding the right method is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and collaborate with the client to choose what fits best for their goals and preferences. Changes are reviewed together and plans are adapted if something is not helping.

Online therapy offers practical advantages. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual contact helps, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing, want short regular check-ins, or need flexibility around work and family commitments. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
