David Gibson, BACP

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. It helps when someone needs space to be heard and to make sense of feelings without pressure. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and uses small practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns; it is often useful for low mood, anxiety and sleep problems. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on strengths and small steps that lead toward clear goals, which can be helpful when someone wants faster, goal-directed change.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. David works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences. He adapts sessions over time as goals change, combining listening, practical exercises and short-term goal work where helpful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow a face-to-face conversation from different locations, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text-based messaging works for people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, parenting or travel and to keep progress moving even when schedules change.
