About David
Counsellor (NCPS), 4 years' experience. David Wheatley helps people with relationship problems, grief, anxiety, stress and issues around self-esteem and intimacy. He also supports people facing career strain, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related concerns and life changes.
David trained in therapeutic counselling, completing a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling in 2021 and a BSc in Therapeutic Counselling in 2024. He began practice in 2019 and has amassed over 800 hours of client work carried out under regular supervision. He has worked in private practice and with other organisations in the UK.
His style is person-centred. That means he treats the person as the expert on their own experience and focuses on listening, reflecting and clarifying what the client brings. He will mirror what is said, reframe points and help clients consider options without directing their choices.
David also uses solution-focused techniques to help people identify small, achievable steps and practical ways forward. Sessions aim to balance talking through feelings with looking for concrete changes a person can test between meetings.
He notes particular experience with grief and loss connected to children, and with navigating major life changes. He meets with a supervisor every two weeks as part of his practice. The fee structure varies by location and uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How his approaches shape online sessions
David uses person-centred work online to listen carefully and reflect back what a client says. This approach focuses on the client’s perspective and aims to make space for them to identify what matters most and to clarify feelings and priorities.He also applies solution-focused techniques in online meetings to pinpoint small, practical changes. That method helps people set specific, achievable goals and try concrete steps between sessions, which can be reviewed and adapted as therapy progresses.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. He will work collaboratively with clients to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences and will adjust the mix of listening, reflection and solution work as required.
Confirm the exact session options listed on the site before booking, as the public biography records previous work in face-to-face, online and telephone formats but current formats should be checked. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, caregiving and daily life, and they can support shorter check-ins or longer conversations depending on what a person needs at a given time.
