David Wilson, NCPS

David Wilson is a counsellor with nine years of professional experience. He welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief or big life changes. He also supports those facing relationship pain, parenting challenges, career questions and compassion fatigue. David holds the NCPS credential, which is noted here as NCPS.

David uses an integrative style that adapts to each person. He draws on client-centred methods to create a respectful, listening-first space. He also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Dialectical behaviour ideas and psychodynamic perspectives are used when they suit a person's concerns.

Sessions focus on what matters to the individual. Conversation often includes practical steps, coping skills and time spent understanding patterns that keep problems repeating. When helpful, he works on communication, boundaries, motivation and handling strong emotions.

He has particular interest in issues around abandonment and attachment, autism and Asperger syndrome, avoidant personality traits, caregiver stress and fatherhood matters. He has also supported people dealing with cancer, bereavement, separation and codependency.

David can speak English, Dutch, German and Italian at varying levels. He currently works from the United Kingdom and does not accept international clients outside the UK. To begin, people complete an online matching questionnaire and then book sessions according to his schedule.

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and empathy, giving people space to speak and be heard while the counsellor reflects and supports their choices. It helps with low self-esteem, grief and decision points where validation and acceptance matter. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and uses practical exercises to change them; it can be useful for anxiety, depression and motivation problems. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) introduces skills for managing strong emotions and improving distress tolerance, which can help with anger, emotional overwhelm and relationship tensions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about what feels useful, try techniques, and adjust the mix of approaches based on needs, goals and personal preference. This is a collaborative process aimed at practical change and clearer understanding.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time and allow for flexible scheduling. It also lets people try shorter check-ins or choose interactions that suit their energy and concentration levels. Registered or accredited professionals aim to make the online process straightforward and focused on real-life improvements.
