About Davinia
Davinia Eccleston works from an integrative approach that draws on several talking therapies to meet each person's needs. She is a BACP counsellor with six years' experience and practical background in NHS clinical leadership and GP practice counselling. Davinia aims to offer a calm space where people can speak about what is worrying them and begin to find ways forward.
Davinia listens with attentive empathy and focuses on what matters most to the individual.
Background and approach
She adapts techniques from different approaches rather than using a single method. This lets her match the way she works to the concern a person brings in the room. People come for help with stress, anxiety and low mood.
She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, relationship and parenting strains, grief, addictions and sleep or eating problems. Additional areas include workplace pressure, compassion fatigue, ADHD and concerns linked to culture or immigration. Her previous roles include working as a clinical team leader in the NHS and offering counselling within GP settings.
That practical experience informs a straightforward, down-to-earth style in sessions. She aims to reassure people who find it hard to talk and to give clear steps they can try between meetings. Davinia uses Client-Centred, Cognitive Behavioural, Psychodynamic, Solution-Focused and Trauma-Focused methods as part of an integrated way of working.
She works in English and accepts international clients, so people from different places can enquire about working together.

How Davinia works online
Choosing the right way to work is a collaborative step. Davinia will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, then suggest approaches to try together. This helps tailor sessions so they match what the person wants to get from therapy rather than following one fixed method.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. It also lets people meet with a registered or accredited professional who has relevant clinical experience without needing to travel long distances.
