I work with adolescents and adults struggling with eating disorders, emetophobia (fear of vomiting), and trauma, often feeling stuck in anxiety, avoidance, or cycles that haven’t shifted despite previous therapy. Many come to me overwhelmed by food, fear, or the impact of past experiences and want more than short-term coping. With 20 years’ experience in mental health and specialist post-qualification training, I provide tailored, evidence-based therapy (CBT, ACT, ERP, EMDR) to target underlying patterns and help you move forward with greater confidence, flexibility, and lasting change.

Life can feel messy, confusing, or stuck — and that’s exactly what we’ll explore. Counselling with me isn’t about fixing you; it’s noticing the quirks, contradictions, and hidden patterns that make you… you. Expect curious conversation, gentle reflection, laughter where needed, and those tiny “oh… that actually makes sense” moments. I’m warm, approachable, a little unconventional, and fully focused on helping you understand yourself and shift in ways that actually stick. I work with adults and children aged 11 plus.

My journey into counselling began as a personal quest for healing . Through that journey, I discovered a profound passion for supporting others to navigate their own paths towards healing and resilience. In my practice, I offer a safe , supportive space where trauma survivors can explore their experiences, express their emotions, and embark on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment. With empathy and understanding, I walk alongside my clients as they work through the complexities of trauma, offering support, guidance, and evidence-based techniques to facilitate healing and growth.

Through my experience of nearly two decades of working within the mental health industry, I have continued to develop my empathy skills, along with a strong sense of compassion for my clients. I have the energy and motivation to wholeheartedly help my clients change. Over the course of my years in practice I have had the honor to work in a variety of treatment programs, in many contextual settings. This included the privilege to work at several private clinics in the UK / Europe and also in one of the world’s best clinics - Crossroads Antigua. I have additional experience of working in a UK prison and a college.

Welcome to my profile! Whether you’re feeling anxious or carrying things you’d like to work through, reaching out for support is always a step worth taking. So often, we convince ourselves we’re okay despite a major life change, a loss, or the pressures of a demanding lifestyle. We keep pushing forward until the cracks begin to show — sleepless nights, constant stress, strained relationships, or a noticeable dip in mood.
If you’re ready for things to be different, I’ll guide you in transforming stuckness into momentum, self-doubt into self-trust, and anxiety into calm, helping you thrive with renewed confidence and purpose.

You may be feeling anxious, low, overwhelmed, or stuck in emotional or relationship patterns that don’t fully make sense. Perhaps you’re coping on the surface but struggling internally, or finding that a life change such as becoming a parent or experiencing a loss has brought unexpected feelings. You may be looking to understand yourself better and feel more settled and secure. Many of the clients I work with have spent a long time putting others first and are now seeking space for themselves.

It takes courage and strength to reach out for support, and I never take that lightly. I’m always grateful to be the person you choose to trust.
Counselling is more than just talking. it’s a journey toward deeper understanding, healing, and personal growth. In a world where emotional struggles often go unnoticed or unspoken, counselling offers a calm, safe, and non-judgmental space to explore your inner world.
It’s a space where you’re given time to gently explore past wounds, recognize and understand unhelpful patterns, and begin to reconnect with parts of yourself that may have been silenced or forgotten.

My name is David, and I offer outcome-focused therapy for complex challenges such as depression, anxiety, addiction, and relationship difficulties, whether these arise at home or at work. I believe lasting change comes from understanding where difficulties originated and how they continue to shape your life today. Our work may involve exploring past experiences and the emotions linked to them in a compassionate, empathic, and non-judgmental way. This helps uncover how earlier experiences inform how you think, feel, and respond in the present, creating the conditions for meaningful, lasting, and sustainable change over time.

I’m a Clinical Psychologist, working with high achievers who struggle with high functioning anxiety, self-confidence and self-esteem, burnout, stress, and relationship difficulties. If on the surface you look like you have it all together, but the silent voice of self-doubt plagues you, then we will likely work well together. I like to work with the heart of a matter, rather than treat symptoms at a surface level. I work with both adolescents and adults, and have over 13 years experience in mental health. I have a fantastic team of Psychologists working with me, and we also specialise in ASD and ADHD assessments.
