About David
David Brookes is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and depression. He also works with concerns such as grief, anger, self-esteem, sleep and eating difficulties, ADHD, career questions, and life changes.
David aims to make sessions straightforward and practical. He listens without judging and encourages people to speak openly about thoughts and feelings. Sessions focus on what matters to the client and on small, manageable steps forward.
His approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which looks at accepting difficult thoughts while committing to values-based action. He also uses Client-Centred Therapy, where the client's perspective guides the work, and elements of Existential Therapy that help people consider meaning and choice.
David has worked clinically for three years and holds BACP registration. He provides work informed by those approaches rather than offering any single rigid method. The emphasis is on collaboration and on helping people find practical ways to cope.
To begin, the service asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Fees vary with location and sessions are provided through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing and accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect personal values. It can help with anxiety, stress and when life changes make decisions feel hard.Client-Centred Therapy puts the client’s experience at the centre. The therapist follows the client’s lead, offering listening and reflection to help people clarify what matters and find their own solutions.
Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and responsibility. It can be useful for people facing loss, grief, major life transitions or questions about direction.
Choosing an approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss aims, preferences and practical needs, and will adapt methods so sessions fit the client’s goals. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed package.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into daily life by reducing travel, allowing shorter check-ins, or removing the need to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals often offer these practical benefits to help therapy work around work, family and other commitments.
