About David

David Jones helps people with stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, parenting and related life difficulties using a person-centred (client-centred) approach. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has six years of practice experience.

He offers one-to-one talking therapy that focuses on the person’s own experience and choices. Sessions are conversational and interactive. He listens and reflects to help people understand their feelings and explore options for change.

Before training as a counsellor he volunteered with a bereavement charity, providing face-to-face support for people dealing with loss. That experience shaped his work with grief and related concerns such as depression and anxiety.

David draws mainly on client-centred methods and will also use cognitive-behavioural ideas when they suit someone’s goals. He aims to create a respectful, non-judgemental environment and to work at a pace the person is comfortable with.

He has worked with a wide range of issues including addictions, intimacy difficulties, eating and sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem and adjustment to major life changes. He also pays attention to attachment and adoption-related topics where these are relevant to the person’s situation.

How client-centred work and online sessions fit together

The client-centred approach focuses on listening, acceptance and helping people find their own solutions. It works well for issues such as relationship strain, low mood, anxiety and bereavement because it prioritises the person’s experience and pace.

Cognitive-behavioural ideas may also be used to help with specific problems like sleep, low mood or unhelpful thoughts. These are practical techniques offered alongside the main client-centred way of working when useful.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The counsellor will discuss needs, goals and preferences and agree together which methods to try. This collaborative decision-making helps match sessions to what a person wants to achieve.

Confirm the available session formats before you book, as they are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work and family commitments, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. International clients should check time-zone arrangements and session logistics when scheduling.
