Counselling & Psychotherapy

Counselling and Psychotherapy

David Wilson offers both shorter-term counselling and longer-term psychotherapy, providing a safe and confidential setting for individuals to discuss issues that may cause confusion, pain, discomfort, or difficulty. These services are designed to help you explore your thoughts, feelings, and emotions, consider alternatives, and make changes if desired. Sessions offer the opportunity to be heard and understood by a trained, non-judgmental professional who listens with empathy and care.

Difference Between Counselling and Psychotherapy

  • Counselling is typically shorter-term and focused on specific issues or goals.
  • Psychotherapy is a longer-term process aimed at addressing recurring problems and changing behavioural patterns that are no longer beneficial.

Therapeutic Approach

David Wilson is an integrative, humanistic counsellor, blending elements from several well-established theories to tailor each session to the unique needs of the client. His approach primarily draws on:

  • Person-centred therapy (Carl Rogers)
  • Transactional Analysis (TA)
  • Gestalt therapy
  • Existentialism
  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

These methods are combined seamlessly to provide the most effective support for each individual.

Who Can Benefit?

David works with individual adults and has a particular interest in Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) and parents of Highly Sensitive Children.

Some common challenges he addresses include:

ADHD
Anxiety
Depression
Addiction
Bereavement
Affairs and betrayals
Separation and divorce
Low self-esteem
Low self-confidence

I can help you with Social Anxiety
and with General Anxiety

Getting Started: What to Expect?

You can set an initial assessment up, either online or telephone, and have the opportunity to share your reasons for coming to therapy and ask any questions you may have. You can then decide if you wish to continue, outside of the session. There is no pressure from my side to continue, nor any obligation on your part to do so; it is about your getting the right help you need. It has been proven that the bond that develops between client and counsellor is vital to help the therapeutic process: I recommend you see more than one therapist initially, before deciding on the best “fit” for you.

The first step is to arrange a free initial 20 minute assessment, either online video or by telephone. This session allows you to share your reasons for seeking therapy and ask any questions you have. There is no obligation to continue, and no pressure from David—your needs and comfort are the highest priority. The quality of the connection between client and counsellor is vital to the success of therapy; it is recommended to meet more than one therapist before deciding on the best fit for you.
