David Evans, BACP

David Evans is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to help people make sense of their thoughts and everyday habits. He draws on cognitive behavioural and solution-focused ideas to tackle stress, anxiety and relationship strain. He holds BACP accreditation and has four years of professional experience in the UK.

He helps people who are struggling with self-esteem, motivation and coping with life changes. He also supports those dealing with family conflict, communication problems and the fallout from separation. His practice includes work around body image, chronic illness and managing healthy boundaries.

David has experience from learning support roles working alongside people with ADHD and autism. He brings practical communication strategies from that work into therapy, covering mood regulation, managing work demands and building self-acceptance. This background informs how he adapts sessions to each person’s needs.

In private practice he offers one-to-one counselling that draws on couples counselling skills to support individuals with relationship concerns. He also offers therapy for non-complex post-traumatic stress using the rewind technique alongside grounding tools to manage immediate symptoms after trauma.

Sessions focus on what the person wants to change. David aims for clear, manageable steps and practical strategies that fit everyday life. He invites people to explore their thoughts and habits, and to build on strengths they already have.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, understanding and reflecting back what matters most to the person. It helps when someone wants to be heard and make sense of their thoughts and everyday habits before making changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and uses practical exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and low self-esteem by targeting specific thought habits.

Solution-Focused Therapy aims for small, achievable changes and builds on what already works. It suits people who want short-term, goal-focused work and clear next steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences and day-to-day challenges and then try approaches that fit. That collaborative process may blend elements of different methods to suit a person’s needs.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life and can reduce travel time. It also allows for shorter check-ins when that suits someone’s schedule, or for focusing on audio rather than video if less bandwidth or a quieter setup is helpful. Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are available for appointments.
