About David
BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 13 years of experience, David Gibson supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, grief and depression. He also helps with issues related to intimacy, eating and sleeping, parenting, anger, self-esteem and career concerns. He offers practical approaches influenced by Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy.
David keeps sessions straightforward and conversational. He listens to what matters most and helps clients work out small, manageable steps. Early meetings typically focus on the immediate problem and on what the person wants to change next.
In longer work he uses CBT techniques to notice and adjust unhelpful thinking patterns. He applies Client-Centred principles to follow the client's pace and priorities. Solution-Focused ideas help identify resources and build concrete plans for everyday life.
David has worked with people affected by trauma, addiction and relationship breakdown. He has experience across a broad range of concerns, including ADHD, bipolar difficulties, codependency, divorce and fatherhood issues. His background includes work with grief, workplace stress and issues around money and midlife transitions.

How his approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to the person. In practice this means the therapist reflects concerns and helps the client set the pace for work, which suits issues like grief, relationship strain and identity questions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) targets patterns of thinking and behaviour. Sessions use practical exercises and short plans to change unhelpful thoughts and routines, useful for anxiety, depression, addiction and sleep problems. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for existing strengths and small changes that make a difference. It helps people identify specific steps they can try between sessions and track progress over time. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and current needs and agree a plan together. That collaborative process helps decide which tools to use and how to pace sessions. The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm the available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work, caregiving or travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and avoid the need to travel to an appointment.Sheet 3
