David Wilson is a counsellor with nine years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. He is identified by his NCPS credential, and he works in plain, practical ways to help people cope with life changes and emotional pain. He also supports those dealing with grief, parenting strains, work pressure and relationship challenges.

He offers help for a wide range of concerns, including ADHD, anger, intimacy-related issues and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

Additional focuses include attachment and abandonment issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, codependency, and the pressures faced by caregivers. He can also support people facing cancer, separation and divorce, and career-related stress. His approach blends client-centred work with cognitive behavioural tools and dialectical behaviour ideas.

He draws on existential and psychodynamic perspectives when these suit a person’s needs. Sessions aim to be collaborative and goal-focused, with straightforward tools and talking space to make sense of difficult feelings. David draws on lived experience of Europe and speaks multiple languages, though his work with clients is provided in English.

He frames therapy as a step-by-step process where what matters most is the person in front of him and what they want to change. His NCPS credential is listed as NCPS. Practical sessions focus on helping people build coping skills, make clearer choices and regain motivation.

He balances short-term problem solving with deeper reflection when it helps people understand patterns and make lasting changes.

How David’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It creates space for people to talk through feelings and decide what they want to change. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage low mood and change unhelpful habits. Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance and clearer communication when emotions feel overwhelming.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and adapt techniques to what helps most. This means sessions can be short-term and goal-focused or take a deeper look at recurring patterns depending on each person’s needs.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful when visual cues help the conversation. Phone sessions can be simpler if bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, written reflection and people who prefer typing over speaking. These options make it easier to fit counselling into work, family and travel commitments while keeping therapy practical and accessible.
