Welcome to my website. My name is David and I’m a Therapeutic Counsellor and Life Coach. If you’re reading this, you’re probably thinking about changing something in your life – and in your self as a person.
My practice is located on High Bridge in Newcastle upon Tyne city centre, just a few minutes’ walk from Monument Metro and not far from Central Station. I work face-to-face and online with adult clients in a private and confidential setting. Using my skills, training and experience, my aim is to help you find your way to a more fulfilled life.
The counselling and coaching I offer comes from a Humanistic perspective, working in a pluralistic way. We work together, exploring any difficulties or challenges you may have, in a way that acknowledges your whole self and responds to any changes or differences in that self. My part in this is to actively listen to you, to try to understand the world from your point of view and fully accept who you are. In this way, a valuable and constructive working relationship can develop. With an effective rapport established, you are encouraged, supported and empowered to find your own way towards your preferred future.
- Counselling has its emphasis on emotional wellbeing and mental health issues. This is appropriate if you are in distress or in need of help with difficult life problems or behaviours. Find out more on this page.
- Life coaching deals with more everyday matters, in a future-focused way. Helping you to make changes by us working together in a purposeful exploration of options – using your strengths to cultivate growth. Find out more on this page.
- There is a good deal of overlap between these two collaborative ways of working. Where appropriate I offer the possibility of combining the more introspective exploration provided by counselling, with the more practical approach of coaching.
Please explore my website to discover whether you might value what I provide, and contact me if you would like to learn more and arrange a consultation.
