David | Counselling and stress management
Counselling Southampton
Hello and welcome to my profile.
Whatever's brought you here, let's see if we can gently untangle what you’re struggling with to support positive change in your life and relationships.
Listening deeply to you and unpacking the emotional processes we can all get lost in are the bedrock of my approach. You may enjoy using creative methods to help slow things down, explore your experiences and build new possibilities. Learning additional mindfulness and body-honouring stress management methods could also bring welcome balance and relief.
I love using strengths coaching to help people feel more energised and purposeful in their lives and am also an experienced careers adviser.
Online therapy
I mainly use Google Meet and WhatsApp but am happy to use other secure platforms.If you like the idea of using creative methods as part of counselling or coaching, we can also do this in the online space. What we do will depend on what creative materials you have, or are willing to get hold of.
