About David
David Mattis is a counsellor who aims to help people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem and depression. He writes simply and directly. He seeks to build a trusting relationship so people feel understood and able to talk at their own pace.
David focuses on keeping sessions collaborative and clear. He values empathy, respect and honesty in conversations. Sessions are shaped around each person's needs and can be shorter term or more extended depending on what feels right.
Background and approach
With ten years' experience, David draws on a mix of approaches rather than one fixed method. He uses Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy among others, and adapts these to the issue at hand. This gives a practical way to address thoughts, feelings and relationship patterns.
Common concerns he works with include trauma and abuse, coping with life changes, and addiction issues. He also pays attention to attachment and abandonment worries, caregiver stress, chronic illness and fatherhood issues. Sessions can help with communication, guilt, isolation and finding renewed purpose.
People meet David through online formats. Conversations are paced to match what each person needs. He aims to offer a clear, straightforward space where people can talk things through and plan manageable next steps.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and simple steps to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour, which can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. David will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and will suggest options together. That makes it easier to try an approach for a few sessions and adjust if needed.
Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video lets people see non-verbal cues for deeper conversation, phone calls can fit around busy days and require less bandwidth, chat or text work well for short check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options help people fit therapy into everyday life and keep continuity over time.
