How David works online
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, explain what each method involves, and work with the client to decide what fits their needs, goals and preferences. That decision can change over time as progress is reviewed together.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking as the biography does not list them. In general, online work can make attendance easier and more consistent. It lets people fit sessions around work or caring responsibilities, can shorten travel time, and makes it simpler to keep regular check-ins when life is busy. Registered or accredited professionals use online work to deliver the same core therapeutic tasks as face-to-face sessions, while adapting exercises and pacing to suit remote meetings.
