About David Goodman
David Goodman is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom who combines person-centred counselling with EMDR to support people through difficult experiences. He holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects his training and commitment to professional standards. With five years of experience, he works with individuals facing a wide range of emotional challenges and life changes.
He provides support for anxiety, stress, depression, low self-esteem, trauma and abuse, relationship difficulties, bereavement, addiction concerns, parenting and family issues, sleeping problems, anger, career transitions, and compassion fatigue. Additional areas of focus include abandonment, codependency, commitment issues, communication problems, separation and divorce, emptiness, guilt and shame, impulsivity, and loneliness. His practice aims to address both immediate distress and the patterns that maintain it over time.

David emphasizes a paced, respectful approach that encourages clarity, healing, and gradual personal growth.
