About David
David Dunlevy is a counsellor who works online and focuses on clear, practical support. He has four years of clinical experience and holds BACP accreditation. David aims to make starting therapy less daunting and more manageable for people under stress.
He helps with common problems such as anxiety, depression and stress. He also supports people facing grief, addiction and trauma and those coping with big life changes. Relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strain and anger are also within his remit.
Background and approach
David uses a blend of approaches to suit each person. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients live by their values, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking, Client-Centred Therapy to offer a respectful listening space, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to work with emotional connection. Sessions focus on what will make day-to-day life easier.
People can expect straightforward conversation and practical steps they can try between meetings. David pays attention to attachment, communication and forgiveness when these issues come up. He also supports those dealing with isolation, men's issues and young adult concerns.
Sessions are conducted in English and are offered to people in the United Kingdom. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled afterwards.

How David uses therapy approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take steps that match their values, even when thoughts and feelings are difficult. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and living through life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect and offers simple strategies to change patterns that cause distress. It often helps with depression and anxiety.Finding the right approach is part of the work. David will discuss different methods and decide together with the client which fits best. That collaborative process lets the plan change over time as needs and goals shift.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging. Video gives a face-to-face feel for deeper conversations, phone calls can suit those who prefer no camera, live chat supports quicker check-ins and texts work well for short, ongoing contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and busy schedules, and they let the therapist and client choose what works practically for each session.
