David Gibson

David Gibson is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions and anger. He offers calm, straightforward support for depression, grief and relationship concerns. David writes simply and listens carefully to understand what is hardest for each person.

He trained as a counsellor and is a BACP member, with 13 years of professional experience supporting people through tough times. He focuses on building a non-judgemental space where clients can say what they really feel and try out new ways of dealing with problems.

In sessions he uses practical techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy alongside client-centred talking. He also draws on solution-focused ideas to help people set clear, short-term goals. These methods are used to tackle things like sleep and eating difficulties, low self-esteem, workplace stress and challenges around intimacy.

David has worked with clients affected by trauma, addiction, parenting strain and complicated life changes. He offers help for concerns such as ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, compassion fatigue and recovery from self-harm thoughts. He also addresses specific issues including codependency, impulsivity, infidelity and money worries.

People who choose to work with him can expect a practical, down-to-earth approach. He encourages small steps and checks progress regularly. To begin, clients answer a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions based on the therapist's schedule.

Approaches that translate to online support

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to you, so sessions often feel like a calm space to talk things through. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety, anger and low mood. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps and helps set clear goals to move forward.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods fit best. This is a collaborative process and the plan can change as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online therapy helps fit sessions into busy days, for example by saving travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or avoiding the need to be on camera for the whole session. Online work can make it easier to maintain regular appointments and to practise techniques between meetings.
