About David
David Dunlevy is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. He holds BACP accreditation, and he offers one-to-one support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression and life changes. David aims to make first steps into therapy straightforward and practical for anyone who is worried or unsure.
He focuses on day-to-day problems as well as deeper issues such as grief, trauma and addiction. David also helps with relationship and intimacy-related struggles, parenting concerns, anger and low self-esteem.
Background and approach
Additional areas include attachment difficulties, communication problems, forgiveness, loneliness, men's issues, self-harm and challenges common to young adults. Sessions draw on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy. In practice this means looking at thoughts and behaviours, exploring emotions in close relationships, and clarifying what matters most to each person.
David adapts these methods to fit each person’s situation and pace. Conversations are intended to be warm and direct. He aims to help people build coping strategies, manage intense feelings and make changes that feel sustainable.
Progress is usually discussed in practical terms and revisited as goals shift. To begin a course of therapy, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How David works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work. David will discuss different options and help decide which methods suit a person’s goals and preferences. That decision is made together and can change as therapy progresses.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so it is important to confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around busy days, reduce travel time and allow for quicker check-ins on difficult weeks. It also lets people use working time or home breaks more easily and choose whether to focus on talking or short practical exercises during a meeting.
