About David
Counsellor and member of BACP, David Evans has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He offers short-term and ongoing support for stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family concerns, self-esteem and coping with life changes.
David uses straightforward, hands-on methods in sessions. He often draws on client-centred work to focus on what matters to the person in front of him. He also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot thought patterns and solution-focused steps to set achievable goals.
He has experience from learning-support roles working with people with ADHD and autism. That experience informs how he adapts communication and pace in therapy to make sessions easier to work with. He helps people with mood regulation, managing work demands, friendships and self-acceptance.
In private practice he runs one-to-one counselling and brings relationship skills into those sessions to address communication and commitment questions. He also offers therapy for non-complex post-traumatic stress using the rewind technique alongside grounding strategies to reduce immediate symptoms.
Sessions are collaborative and practical. David treats the person as the primary expert on their own life and uses his methods to test small changes and build coping tools. He welcomes conversations about what clients want from therapy and how to work together to reach those aims.
How his approaches work for online counselling
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person speaking and their priorities. The counsellor listens, reflects and helps the client find their own solutions. This approach can help with low self-esteem, relationship questions and general life changes.CBT, or cognitive behavioural therapy, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It is used to identify unhelpful thinking and to try different responses. People often use it for anxiety, stress and mood regulation tasks.
Solution-focused therapy concentrates on clear, practical goals. Sessions aim to establish small steps and actions that move things forward. It suits people who want focused work on specific problems or changes.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss methods at the start and adapt them based on your goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and reviewed as therapy progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can use the same approaches via remote sessions, and David will discuss practical arrangements when you book.
