About David
David Dunlevy is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of clinical experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief and relationship or intimacy-related issues. He also supports those dealing with parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem and life changes.
David takes a practical, conversational approach in sessions. He uses methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). He helps people name what feels difficult, try small changes and notice what works for them.
Sessions focus on current problems and on building skills for everyday life. People might work on managing anxiety, rethinking unhelpful patterns, improving communication, or processing loss. He also addresses attachment concerns, forgiveness, isolation and issues some men and young adults bring.
David describes therapy as a collaborative process. He listens, reflects, and suggests exercises or experiments to try between sessions. Progress is reviewed together and plans are adjusted as needed.
Sessions are delivered in English and are intended for people based in the United Kingdom. International clients are not accepted. Before booking, clients should confirm the current session formats offered.

How David uses therapy approaches in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify personal values and take small actions in line with those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing alternatives through practical exercises; it is often used for anxiety, low mood and anger.Finding the right approach is part of the work. David will discuss different methods, listen to your goals and preferences, and agree together which ideas to try first. That collaborative choice can be revisited as therapy progresses so the approach matches what helps you most.
Confirm the session formats available before booking as the biography does not list them. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also make it possible to continue work between appointments and to use practical exercises in everyday settings while still meeting with a registered or accredited professional for guidance.
