Helping You Move Beyond Trauma, Anxiety and Feeling Stuck
Hi, I’m David. I specialize in EMDR therapy and Person-Centred counselling, helping people overcome trauma, anxiety, phobias, low self-esteem, grief, and distressing life experiences.
Whether you are looking for evidence-based trauma recovery through EMDR or a compassionate, non-judgmental space to explore your thoughts through person-centred therapy, I offer a tailored approach to meet your unique needs. Based in King’s Lynn, Norfolk, I work with clients both in-person and online to facilitate lasting change.
You don’t have to face life’s challenges alone – I’m here when you’re ready.
What is Person-Centred Counselling?
Person-Centred Counselling is a non-directive form of talk therapy that focuses on the individual’s ability to find their own solutions and achieve personal growth. This approach is grounded in the belief that every person has an inherent capacity for self-awareness, self- healing, and self-actualization when given the right conditions.
Unlike some therapeutic models where the counselling takes on the role of an expert or guide, in person-centred counselling, the client is seen as the expert in their own life. The counsellor’s role is to create a safe, empathetic, and non-judgmental space where the client can explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences freely.
What is EMDR?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is a powerful, evidence-based approach that helps process and reduce the emotional impact of difficult memories. Recognised by organisations such as the NHS, WHO, and American Psychiatric Association, EMDR is particularly effective for trauma, anxiety, and other emotional difficulties.
Through gentle techniques such as guided eye movements or tapping, EMDR helps reduce the intensity of painful experiences so they no longer feel overwhelming.
Whether used as a standalone therapy or alongside person-centred counselling, EMDR can support healing, clarity, and emotional freedom — at your own pace, in a safe and supportive environment.
Core Conditions of Person-Centred Counselling:
Empathy:
The counsellor strives to deeply understand the client’s perspective and feelings, providing a sense of being truly heard and accepted.
Unconditional Positive Regard:
The counsellor offers genuine, non-judgmental support, accepting the client for who they are without conditions or criticism.
Congruence:
The counsellor is authentic and transparent, fostering a trusting relationship where clients feel comfortable being open and honest.
