About

David Wheatley is a therapist based in Leeds, UK with four years of professional experience, offering sessions face to face, online and by telephone.

He completed a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling in 2021 and a BSc in Therapeutic Counselling in 2024. Wheatley has practised since 2019, beginning as a placement student during his diploma and later working as a paid practitioner in private practice, with the NHS, and through BetterHelp, accumulating over 800 hours of client experience carried out under supervision, with a supervisor he meets every two weeks.

He works with people on stress and anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief and loss - especially where children are involved - and coping with life changes. His areas of experience also include self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, anger, career and depression, compassion fatigue and ADHD. As a gay, older, male therapist who identifies as non-religious and liberal, Wheatley applies a person-centred approach that treats each client as the expert on their own life.

In session he listens, reflects, reframes and clarifies what is brought to the room, aiming to offer a respectful, sensitive and compassionate space. He does not tell clients what to do but helps explore alternatives so individuals can make their own choices. He recognises that therapeutic fit matters - if after a number of sessions a client feels they do not connect, he supports their decision to find a different practitioner, and if the match is right he will work to help clients through the present stage of their lives.

Is Online Therapy the Right Fit for Your Needs?

Many people wonder whether online therapy can really help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions. One of the main benefits is flexibility - clients can connect in the way that suits them best, whether by video call, phone session, live chat or in-app messaging. That flexibility makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to maintain regular appointments. Licensed professionals provide online therapy, and if the match with a particular therapist is not right, it is possible to switch to someone else. Online formats can support the same therapeutic work people seek in person, while offering practical options to suit different needs and circumstances.
