With four years’ experience, David Sullivan believes in the healing and transformative potential of counselling and seeks to provide a welcoming space for anyone who may benefit.

He frequently works with depression, anxiety, stress and other common mental health concerns, and supports people in learning more about themselves. He also helps with relationship difficulties, bullying, anger management, loneliness and experiences of abuse.

David has experience exploring questions of identity, including self-esteem, self-image, spirituality and faith, and matters relating to sexuality and gender.

Through his work with young people and his own experience, he can support issues that are particularly relevant today, such as responses to social media and gaming.

As a counsellor, he aims to guide clients toward connecting with their best selves and adapts the therapeutic relationship to suit each person’s needs. He believes every individual is unique, and that recognising those differences helps therapy bring personal insights into clearer focus.

He maintains a high professional standard while keeping therapy approachable – learning about oneself and taking positive steps can be rewarding, and he strives to make counselling something clients can feel proud of.

As an integrative counsellor, David blends several approaches to tailor the therapy to each client. This includes a person-centred focus on the client’s present experience as well as a psychodynamic exploration of history and relationships to uncover unconscious patterns.

By being seen and heard in a supportive environment, clients can open the door to embracing their inner selves and expressing that to the world.

David Sullivan is a member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (MBACP) and holds a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling.
