About David
David Dunlevy is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years’ experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. He also helps with parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem and coping with life changes.
David uses clear, goal-focused methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and emotionally-focused techniques. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings.
Many clients bring issues linked to attachment, communication problems, isolation or forgiveness. David also gives attention to men’s issues, young adult concerns and compassion fatigue. He will talk through what matters most and help set manageable next steps.
When grief or loss is the focus, David offers specific support for bereavement and related problems. He works with people affected by trauma and abuse and with self-harm concerns, using straightforward approaches to reduce overwhelm and increase coping.
People who contact him can expect a structured way of working, with clear goals and an emphasis on noticing patterns, testing alternatives and building skills. The emphasis is on practical change rather than labels or lengthy explanations.
How his approaches work for online sessions
David commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety or low mood. ACT emphasises values and committed action, helping people respond differently to painful thoughts or feelings while still moving toward what matters. Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss your goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. That collaboration can include reviewing how techniques feel in daily life and adjusting the plan if needed. The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow check-ins from different locations. Some formats need less bandwidth or are shorter for quick check-ins, while others suit more in-depth conversations. Discuss practical arrangements with him when you book to choose what fits your routine and needs.Areas of expertise
