About

 Hi, I'm David.

I am an experienced integrative counsellor based near Warrington in Cheshire. With many years of experience working in the mental health and private sector, supporting clients who have faced some deeply emotional situations.


These include:

  • Self-worth issues
  • Gender identity
  • Anxiety (general and social),
  • Depression
  • Trauma (physical, sexual and emotional)
  • Grief and loss, and Relationship issues (Divorce, Affairs, separation and family dynamics). 


Being an honest and trustworthy counsellor is at the core of who I am. So I want to offer you that safe space to be seen as a human (thats both good, bad and everything in between) without any judgement, but rather a curiosity to see how the world is through your eyes.

  • Experience

    I have a number of years of experience in working with clients who present with anxiety, identity issues, low self-worth, shame, depression, relationship issues and also bereavement and loss.


    I provide counselling services for several work placement services (including Health Assured and OneBright mental health). Alongside this, I have my own private counselling practice in which I support clients with the emotional challenges that are impacting their lives. 


    My previous experience includes working at the MacMillan Delamere centre in Halton, offering support to patients and family members following a recent cancer diagnosis. I also worked for a local community service in Widnes, where clients presented issues such as anger, addiction, social injustice and bereavement. From 2017 until 2020, I was a listening volunteer at the Samaritans. 


    Being real and authentic with another person can be extremely daunting. However, gradually sharing your true feelings with a trusted person can be the beginning of finding out who you truly are. This can be a difficult journey of self-discovery, but one of the most valuable and beautiful things you will ever do for yourself.
