David Wilson, NCPS

David Wilson is a counsellor with nine years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression and big life changes. He holds NCPS credentials and aims to offer calm, straightforward support. His tone is warm and down-to-earth and he focuses on practical steps people can use day to day.

He helps with low self-esteem, grief and bereavement, relationship pain such as affairs and betrayal, and the strain of separation or divorce. He also works with parents, including those who care for highly sensitive children, and with people managing workplace pressure and compassion fatigue.

David uses a blend of approaches to fit each person’s needs rather than one fixed method. He draws on client-centred ideas to build a trusting space, cognitive behavioural techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts, and elements of existential and psychodynamic thinking to look at deeper meaning and past patterns.

Sessions aim to be collaborative. David listens first, then helps set small, achievable goals. He favours clear, practical steps alongside time to reflect and process difficult feelings.

He speaks English, Dutch, German and Italian at varying levels and works with people in the United Kingdom. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability. The subscription model for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. The therapist offers empathy and reflection to help people feel heard and understood, which can help with anxiety, low self-esteem and coping during midlife changes.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and short tasks to test new ways of thinking and behaving, useful for anxiety, stress and low mood.

Dialectical behaviour therapy, DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving emotional regulation. It can be helpful for people who struggle with anger, relationship difficulty or overwhelming feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. Decisions are made together and can change as progress is made.

Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins at work breaks, or avoiding video if bandwidth is limited. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt tasks and worksheets for remote sessions so that practical work continues between meetings.
