About David
David Goodman is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. He works from a person-centred stance and also offers EMDR, helping people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or weighed down by past events and current pressures.
He helps people with anxiety, stress, depression, low self-esteem and issues linked to trauma and abuse. He also supports those dealing with relationship strain, grief, sleep problems, addiction concerns and career or life changes. David pays attention to how these difficulties affect daily life and functioning.
In sessions he aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where clients lead the pace and focus. He does not try to fix people; instead he listens and reflects to help clients make sense of their experiences and choices. EMDR is offered when talking alone does not feel enough and clients want to work on processing distressing memories or stuck emotional patterns.
David also works with issues such as abandonment, codependency, communication problems, fatherhood matters, guilt and shame, isolation and jealousy. He uses straightforward language and practical conversation so people can try ideas between sessions and notice what helps.
If you are looking for clarity, relief from past experiences, or support through change, he aims to walk alongside you and help you find a way forward at your own pace.
How his approaches work in online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience. The counsellor listens without directing and helps clients find their own solutions, which suits people who want to be heard and make changes at their own pace.Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an approach used to process distressing memories and reduce their emotional charge. It can be helpful for people who feel stuck after traumatic events or for anxiety that traces back to specific experiences.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about their needs, goals and preferences and together decide whether person-centred work, EMDR or a combination best fits the situation. That choice can change as therapy progresses and as different issues come into focus.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work or family life and keeping appointments without travel. Online work can make it easier to access a UK-based counsellor from elsewhere too, but please confirm which session options are currently offered before booking.
