David Evans, BACP

David Evans is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to help people through stress, anxiety and relationship struggles. He holds BACP registration and brings four years of professional experience to his private practice. He works with people facing family tensions, self-esteem concerns and life changes, and aims to make the first steps feel manageable.

He combines Client-Centred Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to suit each person's needs. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps, while also allowing time to talk through emotions and personal history. David emphasises collaboration and helps people notice what already works for them.

David has worked in learning support with ADHD and autism, and has adapted his ways of communicating to be more accessible. He now uses those skills in therapy to help with mood regulation, work demands, friendships and self-acceptance. This practical experience informs his approach with neurodiverse clients.

In private practice he also draws on skills from couples counselling to support individuals who want better communication and connection. He offers therapy for non-complex PTSD using techniques aimed at reducing symptoms and teaching grounding strategies for immediate relief.

Sessions are aimed at helping people find realistic steps forward. He encourages clients to identify strengths and set small goals. The work is collaborative, with attention to both emotional processing and everyday problem solving.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's own experience at the heart of sessions, with the counsellor offering empathetic listening and gentle reflection to help people make sense of their feelings. This approach can be helpful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship concerns and coping with change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical changes in behaviour. CBT sessions often include simple exercises and homework to tackle anxiety, stress and mood challenges in everyday life.

Solution-Focused Therapy aims to spot strengths and small steps that move a person towards their goals. It suits people who want focused, goal-orientated work and quick practical strategies to improve routines and coping.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and personal preferences. That choice can change as the work progresses, and sessions are shaped together rather than imposed.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and medical commitments, reduce travel time and allow quicker check-ins between appointments. Different formats can suit different practical needs, so the therapist will discuss what will work best for timing and the kind of session you want.
