About Davinia

Davinia Eccleston is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years' experience. She has worked in NHS clinical teams and in GP practice settings. Davinia lists stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, addictions, LGBT issues, relationships, grief, eating and sleeping problems, parenting, anger, career difficulties and ADHD among her areas of work.

She describes herself as an integrative counsellor who uses different techniques to suit each person. In a session she gives full attention and listens to what matters most to the client. Her approach aims to let people speak about past experiences or current struggles that feel blocking or unresolved.

Clients can expect practical, person-focused conversations where the counsellor follows the client’s agenda while offering structure when needed. She draws on client-centred methods to prioritise the person’s perspective and on cognitive behavioural and solution-focused techniques to address patterns and practical goals.

Her background in NHS teams and GP practice means she is used to working with a wide range of problems and life circumstances. This includes trauma-focused work alongside psychodynamic ideas about how past experiences shape present reactions. She also notes additional attention to caregiver stress, control issues, immigration concerns, and guilt and shame.

Davinia offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the online therapy options button.

How sessions work

How her approaches are used in online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s perspective. It helps when someone needs space to talk and for their own concerns to be reflected back in a clear way.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. It is useful for patterns like frequent anger, anxiety or sleep disruption because it offers practical steps to test and change those patterns.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on addressing the impact of past traumatic events. It aims to reduce the ways those events continue to affect day-to-day reactions and relationships.

Choosing an approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. That way the plan grows from the client's needs and is adjusted as progress is reviewed.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which formats are available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel. They also let people use shorter check-ins or avoid being on camera when that helps them engage more comfortably.
