About David
David Sullivan is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. He draws on four years of practice and a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. He is a member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP).
David aims to create a calm space where people can talk about what matters to them now. Clients meet a straightforward style. Sessions are shaped around each person's needs rather than a single formula.
Background and approach
David uses person-centred listening alongside psychodynamic ways of looking at past relationships and patterns. He also works with Jungian therapy ideas to help clients explore deeper personal meaning. David often helps with stress, anxiety and low mood.
He also supports people dealing with relationship strain, grief, anger and identity questions such as sexuality or self-image. He can offer help with parenting pressures, burnout and compassion fatigue, and practical coping when life changes feel overwhelming. He has experience addressing issues that include ADHD, autism and dissociation, as well as feelings of emptiness, shame or isolation.
David also works with clients facing prejudice and discrimination and with men exploring roles and expectations. Sessions use clear, conversational language and aim to make therapy feel manageable. David encourages practical steps alongside reflective work so people can try small changes between sessions.
He wants counselling to feel like a place to rebuild confidence and move forward.

Online support
How these approaches guide online sessions
David blends Jungian Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and psychodynamic ideas into online work. Jungian Therapy looks at symbols, dreams and personal meaning to help people understand deep patterns and life purpose. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and empathic presence so clients can lead conversations about what matters now. Psychodynamic Therapy examines past relationships and recurring patterns to reveal how history influences current behaviour and feelings.Choosing the right approach is part of the first phase of work. The counsellor will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together decide which ideas to lean on. This is a collaborative process and may change as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video calls let people meet face to face when a fuller conversation is helpful. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter, simpler check-in is needed. Chat or text-based messaging can suit short reflections, ongoing prompts or when someone needs a flexible way to check in between live sessions.
