About David

David Stevens helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and the practical fallout of major life changes using straightforward, conversational counselling. He is BACP registered and has three years' experience in the field.

He takes a person-centred approach and uses solution-focused techniques when they fit the client's needs. Sessions are presented as direct conversations rather than formal interviews. The aim is to reduce pressure, find clarity and identify small steps that make life more manageable.

David has supported people dealing with trauma, abuse, depression, anger and self-esteem issues. He also works with concerns such as family problems, communication issues, divorce and separation, and commitment worries. Additional focuses include abandonment, caregiver stress, chronic illness and disability, fatherhood issues, and hearing impairment.

In the room he favours plain language and practical steps. That can mean listening deeply to build understanding, or setting short, achievable goals to change what isn't working. He adapts the balance of listening and problem-solving to what each person needs.

Sessions are conducted in English and are organised through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people use the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How his counselling approaches work for online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor offers a non-directive style that prioritises what the client brings to each session and helps them make sense of their feelings and choices. This approach can help with issues such as depression, grief and feeling stuck.

Solution-Focused Therapy emphasises small, practical steps and short-term goals. It looks for what is already working and builds on those strengths to address concerns like anxiety, stress and problems at work or in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. David will work collaboratively to decide whether to focus more on listening or on goal-setting based on the person's needs, preferences and what they hope to achieve.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow more frequent short check-ins when needed. Different formats also suit practical needs - for example, audio calls can use less bandwidth and shorter sessions can fit into a lunch break.
