About David

David Evans is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, family difficulties, low self-esteem and life changes. He also lists codependency among the issues he addresses.

David uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. He leans on Client-Centred Therapy to focus on the person's perspective and on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. He also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify small, achievable steps that move things forward.

He has experience supporting people who are autistic or have ADHD from previous learning-support roles, and has adapted his way of working to improve communication and coping strategies for neurodiverse clients. This includes work on mood regulation, managing work demands, friendships, and self-acceptance.

In private practice he offers one-to-one work that draws on skills usually used in couples counselling to help individuals improve communication and relationship patterns. He also provides therapy for non-complex PTSD using the rewind technique alongside grounding methods to reduce immediate symptoms after trauma.

Sessions focus on practical changes and building on what already works for the person. New clients are invited to describe their immediate concerns and priorities, and then they and David agree on steps to address those issues together.

How sessions work

How his approaches translate to online work

David uses Client-Centred Therapy to keep the focus on the person and their priorities, allowing conversations to follow what matters most to the client. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to spot unhelpful patterns in thinking and behaviour and to test alternatives; this is useful for anxiety, stress and low self-esteem. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical, short-term steps and on what small changes could make a noticeable difference.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. David discusses goals and preferences in early sessions and adapts methods as those goals become clearer. The therapist and client decide together what feels most useful, and that plan can change as progress is made.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not detail them here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when people need them. If someone prefers fewer visual demands, a phone-style session can be simpler and quicker, while video sessions allow more visual cues for work on communication and interpersonal patterns.
