About David
David Wheatley is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. He supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief and loss, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. He also helps those facing career strain, anger, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related challenges.
David works in a person-centred way, which means he listens carefully and follows each person's lead. He reflects back what is said, asks clarifying questions and helps people see options without telling them what to do.
Background and approach
This approach aims to help someone feel heard and understood as they consider their next steps. He holds an NCPS credential and completed a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling in 2021, followed by a BSc in Therapeutic Counselling in 2024.
David has been practising since 2019 and has built up practical experience over more than 800 client hours, all supported by regular supervision. Sessions focus on the person as much as the issue. David uses Solution-Focused techniques alongside client-centred listening to help people identify small, achievable goals and practical steps.
He treats each person with respect, sensitivity and compassion. Choosing a counsellor can feel difficult, and David acknowledges that not every match works. If after a few sessions someone feels it is not the right fit, they are encouraged to seek another option.
If the relationship feels right, he offers steady support to work through the problem and move towards clearer choices.

How David works online
Solution-Focused Therapy zooms in on small, practical steps. It helps people spot what is already working and build simple goals to move forward, which can suit issues such as stress, relationship difficulties and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences and agree a way of working that feels helpful. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around everyday life and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep regular appointments during busy weeks, and different ways of meeting can suit different needs. The biography indicates past experience with face-to-face, online and telephone work, so confirm current session options before booking to make sure they match your circumstances and schedule.
