About David
David Gibson is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 13 years of experience. He supports adults facing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship strain, grief and depression. He also works with people dealing with parenting pressures, trauma and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.
He prefers a straightforward, conversational style. Sessions centre on what is happening now and on small changes that make daily life easier. He uses practical tools and questions to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding.
David draws on client-centred work to listen without judgement and to help people clarify what matters most to them. He uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify and shift thoughts and behaviours that get in the way. He also brings solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals and track progress.
In practice he often helps people manage parenting strain, addiction concerns, midlife challenges and workplace stress. He can also support those coping with bereavement, relationship breaches such as infidelity, and problems with sleep or eating habits.
Sessions are delivered in English and he accepts international clients. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, visitors complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the online booking button.
How sessions work
How his approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people clarify values and priorities and supports self-directed change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical exercises and experiments for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and unhelpful habits.Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences with each person and together they will decide which approaches to try. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as needs change.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered and accredited professionals can use online sessions to share exercises, set homework and check progress between appointments.
