About David

David Wilson works with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and life changes, using a blend of therapies to help people talk through practical problems and emotional pain. He is registered with NCPS (National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society) and has nine years' experience.

David focuses on common difficulties such as grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges and work-related stress. He also helps with ADHD, intimacy concerns, anger, career decisions and compassion fatigue. He offers support for issues linked to attachment, abandonment and codependency.

His approach draws on client-centred work alongside cognitive behavioural methods and dialectical skills. He also uses psychodynamic and existential ideas when they seem relevant. Sessions aim to be straightforward: exploring what is happening, noticing patterns, and trying out manageable changes.

David has spent time living in several European countries and speaks English, Dutch, German and Italian. For prospective clients from the EU he counsels in English; his other languages are spoken to varying degrees.

He describes himself as an integrative practitioner who adapts methods to the person in front of him. In practice this means combining talking, reflection and practical techniques to address immediate problems and longer standing patterns.

To begin, people are asked to use the site matching process and book a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions run on a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How his approaches work in online counselling

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person, helping them build self-understanding and confidence. It is useful for low self-esteem, relationship concerns and parenting challenges.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and uses practical exercises to reduce distress. It often helps with anxiety, depression and coping with life changes.

Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotion regulation, tolerance of distress and clearer communication; it can be helpful for anger, relationship strain and overwhelming feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, try methods that suit the person and adjust the plan together as needed. This is a collaborative process based on what helps in practice.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into everyday life, for example by reducing travel, allowing shorter check-ins between commitments, or offering alternatives if being on camera is difficult.
