About Davinia
Davinia Eccleston is a BACP counsellor who offers a calm, listening approach to people facing stress, anxiety and depression. She works to make clients feel heard and supported so they can talk about things that feel difficult. Davinia draws on a mix of approaches to match each person's needs and pace.
Before working privately she held roles in the NHS, including clinical team leadership, and she also worked as a counsellor within a GP practice.
Background and approach
That background gives her experience with a wide range of concerns, from trauma and abuse to grief and relationship strain. In sessions she focuses on the client’s agenda and gives full attention to what matters most to them right now. She aims to create reassurance so people feel able to disclose painful thoughts, emotions and memories without feeling rushed.
Davinia uses a flexible, integrative style. This means she can draw on conversation-based, problem-solving and traumafocused ideas to suit each person. Practical tools and short exercises are used when they might help, and deeper reflection is offered if that feels important.
She also supports people dealing with life transitions, parenting stresses, work pressure and issues around identity, culture and discrimination. Sessions are conversational and tailored to the individual’s goals and circumstances. People can expect a steady, empathic presence and a focus on small, achievable steps as well as exploring longer-term patterns where useful.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It tends to be practical and structured, which can help with anxiety, depression and sleep or eating problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences and current concerns and then try approaches that fit. This is a collaborative process that can change as therapy progresses.
Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls let you talk face to face from different locations. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or useful when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging allow ongoing support between sessions or for people who prefer typed communication. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments and make it easier to continue when life is busy.
