About David
David Gibson is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with a background in supporting people through stress, anxiety, addiction and loss. He has 13 years of experience and is a BACP member. He aims to offer a calm space where someone can talk through difficult feelings and begin to find practical ways forward.
He uses a straightforward, person-focused style in sessions. He listens without judgement and works at the client’s pace. Conversations often focus on what matters most now, and on steps that feel achievable between meetings.
Alongside client-centred work, he draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to look at patterns of thinking and behaviour. He also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set small, concrete goals and track progress. These methods are used to address issues such as relationship strain, low mood, sleep problems, addiction and workplace stress.
David has practised across a range of settings and with varied life problems. He helps people dealing with grief, trauma and parenting strain, as well as those coping with midlife change or financial stress. His approach aims to blend listening with practical tools the person can try between sessions.
He welcomes people from different backgrounds and works with individuals who identify as LGBT. International clients can be supported in English. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to availability.
How his approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in the room, offering respectful listening and support that helps people feel heard and understood. It is useful for lots of concerns, from low mood to relationship worries. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions, and offers practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It can help with anxiety, sleep issues and low mood. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasises small, achievable goals and concrete steps that show progress quickly.Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss what matters to you, what you hope to change, and which approach feels most helpful. That conversation guides the plan for sessions and any techniques tried between meetings.
The original profile does not state which session formats are offered, so please check current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around work, childcare or travel. It also lets people keep therapy in familiar surroundings, use shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid being on camera when that helps. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt the pace and tools to suit each person’s life and goals.
