About David Wheatley

David Wheatley is a Leeds-based therapist who has been practising since 2019 and brings over four years of professional experience to his work. He holds NCPS, a recognised counselling credential, and completed a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling in 2021 followed by a BSc in Therapeutic Counselling in 2024. His clinical hours exceed 800 client contact hours, accumulated through placement work and later as a paid practitioner in private practice, with the NHS, and through online services, all carried out under regular supervision every two weeks.

David offers therapy face-to-face, online, and by telephone, and has developed particular experience supporting people with stress and anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, grief and loss - especially situations involving children - and coping with major life changes. He approaches each person from a person-centred perspective, working with the individual as the expert on their own life, while reflecting, reframing, and clarifying what is shared during sessions.

Clients can expect a respectful, sensitive, and compassionate space to explore their concerns. David emphasises autonomy and collaborative exploration of options rather than giving directive advice, and he encourages clients to choose what feels best for them, including the option to change therapists if the fit is not right.

Client-Centered and Solution-Focused Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person rather than the problem. It emphasises listening, empathy, and respect so clients can explore their feelings and make sense of their experiences at their own pace - this approach can be helpful for issues like grief, low self-esteem, and relationship concerns.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and strengths to help people move toward specific goals. It works well for clients who want short-term, goal-oriented work around stress, anxiety, coping with life changes, or improving communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is decided collaboratively. The therapist will discuss options with each client, tailoring techniques to the person's needs, goals, and preferences so the work feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions around work, family, or mobility needs. These formats support consistent access to registered professionals and therapists from different locations, helping clients maintain continuity of care while choosing the communication style that suits them best.
