About David
David Stevens is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. He supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family problems, career worries, grief, trauma and the strain of major life changes. He also works with issues such as anger, low self-esteem and depression.
David keeps sessions straightforward and down-to-earth. He likes to talk through what feels most pressing and to help people find practical ways to cope. Conversations aim to feel like an honest, relaxed exchange rather than a formal interview.
He uses a person-centred approach as his main framework and mixes in solution-focused techniques when that suits the person. That means time is spent both on understanding how a problem feels and on identifying small changes that can help straight away.
David often helps people who feel stuck after leaving home, changing jobs, or finishing university. He also supports those dealing with family conflict, commitment doubts, grief after loss, and ongoing stress from caregiving or chronic illness. He is used to working with issues linked to autism and hearing impairment.
Sessions move at the client’s pace and focus on clear, practical steps alongside open listening. People who want a direct, conversational counsellor may find his style a good fit. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used and a first session is scheduled through the site.
How his approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The counsellor reflects what is said and helps the client make sense of their feelings. This approach is useful for exploring stress, low self-esteem, grief and relationship worries.Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and small changes. Sessions look at what is already working and build on that to set achievable goals. This can help with career decisions, coping strategies and feeling less overwhelmed by life transitions.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The counsellor will discuss options and decide together which approach or mix of approaches fits best. That collaborative decision is based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences rather than a fixed method.
Practical benefits of online therapy include squeezing sessions into a busy week and keeping continuity when life is changing. If you are unsure which session type is offered, confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to attend during study breaks, between shifts, or when travel would be difficult, while still allowing the same conversational and solution-focused approaches used in person.
