About David
David Wilson is a counsellor with nine years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and life changes. He works with clients coping with depression, grief, parenting strains and relationship problems. He also supports those dealing with ADHD, career questions, anger and compassion fatigue. David holds NCPS and offers therapy in English, with additional language skills in Dutch, German and Italian.
In sessions he uses a client-centred way of working, focusing on what each person brings and needs. He draws on a range of therapies such as cognitive behavioural techniques and elements of dialectical behaviour work to suit the person. He also uses psychodynamic and existential ideas when those perspectives help make sense of patterns and choices.
David describes himself as warm and integrative. He aims to create a space where people can talk through emotions, try out new ways of coping and set practical steps. Parents, people facing separation, and those affected by loss are among the concerns he often sees.
He has a particular interest in highly sensitive people and supporting parents of highly sensitive children. He also has experience with attachment and abandonment issues, autism spectrum concerns, caregiving stress and codependency. David will tailor the mix of approaches to each person’s situation.
If someone from the EU wants to work in other languages, David notes he counsels EU clients in English and has conversational ability in French, German, Dutch and Italian based on lived experience in Europe.
How client-centred and practical approaches work online
David blends client-centred work with cognitive behavioural and dialectical behaviour ideas. Client-centred therapy emphasises listening and following the person’s pace so they feel understood and can explore what matters most. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect and offers practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical behaviour therapy adds tools for handling strong emotions and building steady coping skills.Choosing the right way of working is part of the process and is decided together. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, what has helped before, and how they prefer to work, then adapt techniques accordingly. This is a collaborative approach rather than a fixed programme.
Confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - they can save travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or make it simpler to arrange sessions around work or parenting. The therapist will also discuss practicalities such as session length and rhythm so the work fits day-to-day demands.
