About David
David Gibson is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 13 years of professional experience. He works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, and anger. He also supports people dealing with sleep and eating difficulties, ADHD, workplace strain, and life transitions.
He uses a practical, conversational style. Sessions focus on talking through what’s happening now and finding steps that feel manageable. David uses Client-Centred Therapy to listen and reflect, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to spot unhelpful thinking patterns, and Solution-Focused Therapy to identify small changes that make a difference.
Clients can expect straightforward discussion about triggers, patterns, and current coping. Work may include looking at thoughts, testing out new behaviours, and setting short goals between sessions. The emphasis is on clear, practical tools rather than abstract theory.
David has experience with addictions, trauma, marital difficulties, grief and childhood issues, and brings that background into sessions with many adult clients. He is a BACP member and has spent over a decade working with people from varied backgrounds.
Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted. If you want to explore next steps, he asks that you use the site booking process to complete a short matching questionnaire, then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
David draws on Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy in his online practice. Client-Centred Therapy centres on attentive listening and reflecting what matters to the client, which helps clarify feelings and priorities. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and suits problems like anxiety, anger and low mood by teaching practical skills to test unhelpful thinking. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, concrete steps and on identifying what’s already working so change can start quickly.Finding the right mix of these methods is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to decide which approach fits the issue, goals and personal preferences. That means reviewing what helps in early sessions and adjusting the focus as needed.
The original biography did not specify session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example it can remove travel time, allow a quick check-in during a lunch break, or suit people who prefer not to use video. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt tasks, homework and behavioural experiments for remote sessions so practical skills work carries on between appointments.
