About David
David Parker is a counsellor with a BACP credential and 12 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and major life changes. He aims to offer a calm, respectful space to begin difficult conversations.
He adapts sessions to the person rather than using a fixed script. Conversations are shaped around what each person brings, with practical steps added when useful. He values sensitivity and straightforward talk during sessions.
Background and approach
David uses a range of approaches including Jungian work, client-centred techniques and cognitive behavioural ideas. That mix lets him focus on thoughts and behaviours, while also paying attention to personal meaning and inner patterns. Sessions can include reflective discussion and simple skills to manage daily life.
He has additional experience with attachment and abandonment issues, body image, codependency, and some neurodiversity concerns such as autism and Asperger syndrome. He also supports people dealing with relationship breaks, caregiving stress, cancer-related worries, and the emotional impact of disasters. Sessions are offered in English and run online or by phone.
David uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people use the site questionnaire and schedule based on therapist availability.

Online support
How David’s approaches translate to online therapy
David integrates Jungian Therapy, client-centred work and CBT in ways that suit remote care. Jungian Therapy looks at personal symbols and recurring themes to help people understand deeper meaning in their lives; it can be useful for grief, identity questions and long-standing patterns. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting the person’s experience so sessions stay led by the client and their priorities. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thoughts and actions into manageable steps and offers practical tools for anxiety, stress and mood concerns.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. David will talk with each person about goals and preferences and try ways of working that fit those aims. Together they review what helps and adjust methods over time so the sessions remain relevant and useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let people keep eye contact and read body language, while phone sessions are handy when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can suit shorter check-ins, emotional support between sessions, or people who prefer writing. These options provide flexibility to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel.
