David Brookes

David Brookes is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. He has three years of professional experience and works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and anger. He also supports clients with sleep and eating issues, self-esteem, career concerns, ADHD, and life changes.

David aims to create an open, non-judgemental space for people to speak about difficult feelings. Sessions are straightforward and conversational. He encourages practical steps alongside talking, so people leave with things they can try between meetings.

His approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values. He also uses Client-Centred Therapy to focus on each person’s experience and Existential Therapy to look at meaning and life choices.

In sessions David listens for what matters most to the individual and works together to set clear goals. He explains ideas in everyday language and checks in about progress regularly. This makes therapy feel more manageable for people who are already juggling busy lives.

If someone wants to begin, they are asked to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. Scheduling is then arranged according to therapist availability and the subscription terms for sessions.

Therapeutic approaches and online working

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, then commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, anger and motivation to change. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience, giving space for them to find their own direction. Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and responsibility when life feels uncertain or overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will collaborate with clients to identify which ideas feel most helpful and adjust the focus as progress is made. This means setting goals together and checking in about how methods are working for that person.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to schedule brief check-ins or regular meetings around work and family commitments. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking to ensure they match your needs.
