About David
David Wheatley is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of practical experience. He holds a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and a Bachelor of Science in Therapeutic Counselling. He offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat and text messaging to help people talk through problems such as depression, anxiety, stress and relationship concerns.
He works in a person-centred way, which means he listens first and follows what the client brings.
Background and approach
He reflects back what is said, clarifies, and helps people notice different perspectives. Clients keep the final say about choices and next steps while he supports exploration and decision making. David has worked in independent practice and with the NHS, and he has accumulated over 800 hours of client experience gained under regular supervision.
He meets his supervisor every two weeks as part of his ongoing professional practice. This background informs his straightforward, compassionate approach to common life challenges. People come to him for a wide range of concerns, including grief and loss, coping with life changes, self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, anger and career stress.
He also supports those facing ageing and geriatric issues, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and end-of-life matters. Sessions are focused on what matters to the person in front of him. David aims to create a respectful space where clients can explore options, find clearer thinking, and practise manageable steps forward.
He acknowledges that a good match matters and encourages clients to notice whether the relationship feels right as therapy progresses.

Online support
Solution-Focused Therapy looks for practical, small steps that move a person towards their goals. It concentrates on strengths, exceptions to the problem and realistic next steps rather than lengthy analysis. People often use this approach for stress, coping with life changes and practical relationship challenges.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the client about aims and preferences, then try ways of working that fit those goals. This is a collaborative process and the approach can shift as needs change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls suit deeper conversations when you want visual contact. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, tracking progress, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options help fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and day-to-day life.
