About David
David Wheatley is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, and self-esteem difficulties. He also supports issues such as career strain, anger, ADHD and compassion fatigue. David uses straightforward, respectful listening to help people sort through what matters most to them.
He works in a client-centred way, which means the person is treated as the expert on their own life.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on listening, reflecting and clarifying what the client brings, rather than telling someone what to do. David aims to create a calm space where people can talk about painful or confusing topics without judgement. David trained in therapeutic counselling, gaining a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling in 2021 and a Bachelor of Science in Therapeutic Counselling in 2024.
He has practised since 2019 and has accumulated over 800 hours of client work carried out under regular supervision. His NCPS credential is recorded as part of his professional details. In practical terms he offers conversations that are simple and goal-focused when needed, while remaining open to deeper reflection.
He will reflect back what is said, reframe where useful and help people weigh their options. Sessions can cover concrete coping strategies, short-term goals or longer personal exploration depending on what the person wants. People who come to him often want a clear, down-to-earth approach.
David emphasises respect, sensitivity and compassion, and encourages clients to pause and decide what feels right for them as therapy progresses.

Approaches David lists

Online support
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and small changes that move a person towards their goals. It works well when someone wants short-term progress on problems like stress, communication or coping with change by identifying what already helps and building on it.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss what feels most helpful and may blend reflective listening with solution-focused tools depending on the person’s goals and preferences. Together they decide what to try and review progress as therapy continues.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexible options. Video is good for a full conversation when you want face-to-face contact. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief updates, more frequent contact or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
