About David
David Sullivan is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (MBACP). He has four years of practice and focuses on stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns, along with identity issues such as self-esteem and sexuality.
David offers straightforward talking therapy aimed at helping people understand their feelings and choices. He works with issues like grief, anger, loneliness, compassion fatigue and trauma. He also supports people dealing with parenting strain, intimacy-related worries and life changes.
His approach combines person-centred listening with psychodynamic thinking. That means he pays attention to how someone feels in the present while also looking at past patterns and relationships that shape current behaviour. Jungian ideas are also used to explore symbolism and deeper personal meaning when that fits the client’s needs.
Sessions tend to focus on what a person is struggling with now, while gently looking back to identify recurring issues. David uses conversation, reflection and questions to help people spot patterns and try new ways of relating to themselves and others. He aims for clear, step-by-step progress rather than theory-heavy sessions.
He has worked with young people and adults on matters connected to social media, gaming and identity. David’s training includes a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, which informs his practical, conversational style.
Therapy is provided in English and he works with people in the United Kingdom. International clients are not accepted.

How his approaches are used in remote counselling
David works with person-centred (Client-Centred) methods, psychodynamic ideas and elements of Jungian thought. Client-Centred work focuses on listening, reflecting and helping people clarify what matters to them in the here and now. Psychodynamic work looks at patterns that come from past relationships and experience to explain repeated reactions. Jungian ideas are used occasionally to explore symbolic themes and deeper personal meaning that can surface in conversation.Finding the best approach is collaborative. He will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt the mix of approaches over time. That means sessions can shift between present-focused talking and slower exploration of history or personal symbolism, depending on how a client responds.
The practical benefits of online counselling include easier fitting of sessions into a weekly routine and fewer travel demands. Please confirm the current session formats before booking as the biography does not specify which online methods are offered. Many people find remote sessions helpful for straightforward check-ins, quieter reflection or shorter coaching-style conversations, while others choose longer sessions to explore deeper material.
