David Sullivan, BACP

David Sullivan believes in the healing and transformative potential of counselling and aims to offer a calm, supportive space for people who may benefit. He regularly works with depression, anxiety and stress, and supports clients facing relationship difficulties, bullying, anger, loneliness and experiences of abuse. He also focuses on helping people deepen their understanding of themselves and build greater self-awareness.

David has experience exploring questions of identity, including self-esteem, self-image, spirituality and faith, and aspects of sexuality and gender. His work with young people and his personal experience inform his ability to address concerns that often arise in today’s world, such as responses to social media and gaming.

As a counsellor, David aims to guide clients toward their best selves by shaping therapeutic relationships to match each person’s needs. He holds that acknowledging individual difference is central to clarifying how someone sees themselves and others. He works to a high professional standard while keeping the experience of therapy approachable and achievable, so that learning about oneself and making positive changes can feel rewarding.

David practises as an integrative counsellor, combining a person-centred approach that focuses on the here and now with psychodynamic work that explores personal history, relationships and unconscious patterns. By being truly seen and heard within the therapeutic space, he seeks to open possibilities for clients to reconnect with their inner lives and express that self to the world.

He is a member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (MBACP). He also holds a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, which is a recognised professional qualification in counselling practice.
