About Davinia
Davinia Eccleston is a BACP counsellor with six years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, family difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She also helps with addictions, relationship concerns, grief, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strains and anger.
Before moving into private practice, she worked as an NHS clinical team leader and provided counselling within a GP practice. That background informs a practical approach to common life problems. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and on the steps they can take next.
Her work is integrative, drawing on a few approaches to match each client's needs. Cognitive behavioural ideas are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test alternative ways of thinking. Client-centred listening gives space for people to tell their story without interruption.
She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that come from earlier relationships, and solution-focused techniques to set small, achievable goals. Trauma-focused methods are brought in when past harm is part of current distress. The mix depends on what the client and counsellor decide together.
Davinia aims to give clear attention and reassurance so people feel able to talk about difficult feelings. Sessions are practical, with simple steps and reflections between meetings. She offers help in English and works with international clients, and the process begins by selecting online therapy options and completing a short matching questionnaire.
How she uses CBT and other approaches online
Davinia draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try out different ways of thinking. CBT sessions often include setting small tasks or experiments to practise between meetings, which can help with anxiety, low mood and stress.She also uses client-centred counselling to provide attentive listening and to let clients explain what matters most to them. Psychodynamic ideas are used when looking at repeated patterns linked to earlier relationships, and trauma-focused techniques are used when past harm affects current coping. These approaches are described and agreed together so the client understands why particular methods are chosen.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Davinia will discuss goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. That is a collaborative decision and may change as work progresses.
The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around work or caring responsibilities, avoid travel time and use shorter check-ins when that helps. Registered or accredited professionals often find online work useful for keeping therapy practical and accessible.
