About David

David Evans is a counsellor with four years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family conflict, and low self-esteem. He also supports those facing life changes and motivation difficulties.

He uses straightforward, person-focused ways of working. David draws on client-centred approaches to make space for each person's story. He also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and solution-focused techniques to identify practical next steps.

David has experience supporting people with autism and attention differences from earlier learning-support roles. He brings that experience into therapy to help with mood regulation, workplace demands, friendship issues, and self-acceptance. He aims to adapt how he communicates so each person can get the most from sessions.

In private practice he offers one-to-one work informed by skills used in couples counselling, which he applies to help people reflect on relationship patterns and communication. He also offers therapy for non-complex post-traumatic stress using the rewind technique alongside grounding strategies to manage distressing symptoms.

David believes clients know their own stories and have strengths to draw on. He focuses on practical, collaborative steps and clear conversations. His style is supportive and goal-oriented, helping people take manageable steps towards change.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy is about being listened to and understood. The therapist follows the person's lead, helping them make sense of their experiences and identify personal strengths. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns of unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes to improve mood and reduce anxiety. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and building on what already works, aiming for achievable short-term goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. David will discuss different ways of working and help decide which fits the client's needs, goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also help people keep regular momentum between appointments and use practical exercises or worksheets during sessions. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists, often adapt exercises so they work well in remote conversations and help clients put changes into everyday life.
