I’m David, and I have been a qualified counsellor since 2021, however I have been practising since 2019 as a student counsellor. I gained my SEG Awards Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling from Wakefield College, and my Level 2 and 3 Certificates in Counselling Skills from Swarthmore Education Centre in 2017 and 2018 respectively. I am currently completing a BSc in Therapeutic Counselling at Leeds Beckett.
When I started an introduction to counselling course in 2016, I had no idea that it would change the course of my life. The course was only going to be a few weeks, but soon led to a Level 2 Counselling Certificate and I was hooked. A Level 2 Certificate progressed to a Level 3 Certificate, and finally the Level 4 Diploma course.
I currently work online in private practice, as well as via BetterHelp. In previous counselling roles I have worked in the NHS and also volunteered. My approach is based on the person centred philosophy, where you have the answers and I help you find them, however I also work from a solution focused perspective. Together, we can work on what is concerning you and hopefully get you to where you want to be.
