How David’s approaches work online
David draws on client-centred work, cognitive behavioural therapy and psychodynamic ideas to guide online sessions. Client-centred work focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience so they feel heard and supported. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and helps people develop practical strategies to reduce anxiety and manage mood. Psychodynamic ideas encourage reflection on past experiences and patterns that repeat in relationships, which can help make sense of present difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the process and David treats it as a collaborative decision. He listens to each person’s concerns, goals and preferences and then suggests which methods to try. Together they review what feels helpful and adjust the plan as work progresses.
Because session formats are not specified in the biography, please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, for example reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during lunch breaks or offering a way to meet when coming into the office is difficult. It also allows work to continue from different locations when circumstances change. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often find online sessions useful for ongoing therapy and practical problem solving.
