About David Sullivan

David Sullivan offers a calm, compassionate approach to counselling that aims to help people navigate difficult emotions and life challenges. He works regularly with depression, anxiety and stress, and also supports individuals dealing with relationship difficulties, bullying, anger management, loneliness and experiences of abuse. He has experience exploring facets of identity such as self-esteem, self-image, spirituality and faith, and questions around sexuality and gender.

Drawing on work with young people and his own background, he is familiar with contemporary pressures including responses to social media and gaming, and how these can affect wellbeing. As an integrative counsellor he blends different methods to suit each person, combining a person-centred focus on the here and now with psychodynamic exploration of personal history and relationships to uncover unconscious patterns.

His role is to help guide clients toward greater self-understanding and to support practical, achievable steps toward change. He aims to shape the counselling relationship around each client so that therapy feels approachable rather than intimidating, and so progress can become something to be proud of.

He is a member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP), the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK, and holds a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. These qualifications reflect formal training in counselling practice and professional membership in his field.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Client-centred therapy focuses on meeting a person where they are, offering empathy and non-judgemental listening so clients can explore their feelings and make choices that feel right for them. This approach is often helpful for issues like low self-esteem, life transitions and relationship difficulties.

Psychodynamic therapy looks at how past experiences and early relationships shape current patterns of thinking, feeling and relating. It can be useful for understanding recurring problems such as unresolved grief, repeating relationship patterns, emotional blocks and aspects of identity.

Jungian therapy attends to meaning, symbols and the deeper layers of the psyche, supporting people who want to explore identity, inner conflicts and life purpose in a reflective, interpretive way.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. David works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals and preferences, and adapts the work as understanding grows.

Online therapy provides practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit counselling around work, family and other commitments. Registered professionals can offer consistent support across these formats, helping clients engage in meaningful therapeutic work from different locations and at different times.
