About David
David Stevens is a BACP counsellor based in Leeds, United Kingdom. He helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, depression and major life changes. He also supports those facing trauma, anger, self‑esteem struggles and challenges related to career or parenting roles.
His style is straightforward and down-to-earth. Sessions aim to feel like a real conversation rather than a clinical interview. He offers a calm, respectful space and moves at a pace that suits each person.
David uses Client-Centred Therapy as his main approach, which focuses on listening and understanding a person’s perspective. He also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to help identify practical steps and small changes that can make life feel easier.
With three years of experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, he blends these methods to match individual needs. He works with issues such as abandonment, communication problems, chronic illness, caregiver stress and impulsivity when they affect daily life.
People often come to him feeling overwhelmed, stuck or unsure how to move forward. He aims to help clients gain clarity, reduce pressure and find workable next steps. To begin, you can use the site’s Start Therapy process to complete a short questionnaire and arrange sessions according to availability.
How his approaches work online and in session
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being heard and understood. The therapist listens closely, reflects what he hears, and helps people make sense of their feelings. This approach can help when someone feels overwhelmed, stuck or unsure about next steps.Solution-Focused Therapy looks at practical, concrete changes. It helps people spot what is already working, set small goals, and try manageable steps that build momentum. This can be useful for issues like career decisions, communication problems and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. Together they check progress and adjust the work as needed so it stays relevant.
