About David
David Gibson helps people cope with anxiety, stress, addictions, grief and depression. He supports those facing intimacy, relationship and parenting strains, plus work-related stress and issues with self-esteem. His practice also addresses ADHD, eating or sleeping difficulties, anger, bipolar concerns and major life changes.
David works in a straightforward, accepting way. He listens first and asks plain questions to understand what matters most. Together with each person he sets small, practical goals and checks progress as therapy continues.
Background and approach
He draws on Client-Centred methods to create a non-judgemental space where people can talk through painful thoughts and feelings. He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviours interact, and Solution-Focused Therapy to build clear next steps and practical coping strategies.
David has 13 years of professional experience and is a BACP member, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. That background has included work with people affected by trauma, addiction and relationship breakdown. Sessions can be arranged in formats that suit a person's routine and communication style.
David accepts clients in the United Kingdom and works with people internationally via online sessions. He aims for a calm, accessible approach so people feel able to make steady progress.

Approaches David lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours are linked. It is often used for anxiety, depression and stress by identifying unhelpful thinking and practising different responses.
Solution-Focused Therapy spends time on small, practical steps and on what is already working. It helps people set achievable goals and notice progress between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose or blend methods based on needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative way means therapy is adapted as work progresses rather than fixed at the start.
Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options help therapy fit into busy lives and different routines.
