About David
David Sullivan is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP). He has four years of experience supporting people with common mental health struggles such as anxiety, depression and stress, and works with anger and relationship difficulties.
He describes his work as straightforward and practical. Sessions focus on understanding what is happening now and looking back at the past where it matters. He helps people talk through issues like loneliness, bullying, identity questions, and problems tied to social media and gaming.
David uses a mix of methods to fit the person in front of him. That includes a person-centred way of working that looks at someone’s present experience, and psychodynamic ideas that consider history and relationship patterns. Jungian ideas also appear in his approach where exploring meaning and symbolism helps people make sense of themselves.
In sessions he aims to make therapy accessible rather than intimidating. Conversations tend to be direct and reflective, helping people spot patterns and try different responses to anger, low mood or difficult relationships. He also supports people handling grief, trauma, intimacy-related problems and parenting stresses.
His background includes a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. As a BACP member he follows the association’s practice standards. Sessions are conducted in English and he does not take international clients.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
David mixes person-centred work with psychodynamic and Jungian ideas. Person-centred work focuses on the here and now and on what matters to the person in the session. It suits issues like low self-esteem, anxiety and feeling stuck.Psychodynamic work looks at past relationships and patterns that shape current behaviour. It can help when anger or relationship problems repeat over time. Jungian ideas bring attention to personal meaning and symbols, which some people find helpful when exploring identity or deeper emotions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options with the client and choose methods that fit the client’s needs, goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find remote sessions helpful for keeping therapy consistent alongside work, family and other commitments.
