About David
David Mattis is a counsellor who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or low mood. He meets each person where they are and works at a pace that feels manageable. David uses a straightforward, respectful style so clients can talk openly without judgement.
He has ten years of experience and holds the NCPS credential, which is recorded here as provided. His practice focuses on depression, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, coping with life changes and related concerns.
Background and approach
He also addresses issues such as addiction, chronic illness, communication problems and feelings of emptiness. Sessions are collaborative. David draws on practical tools from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy alongside Client-Centred and Emotionally-Focused ideas.
He blends these approaches to match each person’s needs rather than using a single method for everyone. In a session he will listen first, help you identify patterns that fuel distress, and try straightforward steps to test what helps. Sometimes work is brief and goal-focused, and sometimes it involves deeper exploration of attachment, guilt or grief.
People often come to him wanting clearer ways to handle difficult emotions, rebuild confidence, or find purpose after loss or change. David offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different routines and preferences.

Online support
The therapist treats finding the right approach as a shared task. He will discuss goals and try different methods to see what fits best. That conversation helps shape whether work stays short and solution-focused or moves into deeper emotional repair such as attachment or grief work.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into daily life. Video calls work well for a near face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can suit a quick check-in, and messaging lets people reflect between replies. These options give flexibility for different routines, energy levels and communication preferences, while still allowing a therapist to use the same practical tools and conversational work as in-person therapy.
