About David
David Dunlevy is a counsellor with four years' experience who focuses on men's wellbeing and a range of emotional difficulties. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and addictions. He also supports those coping with grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and the strain of parenting or young-adult transitions.
He uses approaches that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical, with time spent talking through immediate problems and finding small changes that help day to day.
In the room, David concentrates on building a calm, non-judgemental space where people can speak plainly about what is hard. He pays attention to patterns in relationships, attachment and communication. He also addresses issues such as anger, low self-esteem, isolation and compassion fatigue.
People who prefer clear, goal-focused work alongside empathic listening may find his style helpful. He can also help those who want to explore forgiveness or recover after trauma and loss. Work often includes practising new ways of thinking, trying small behavioural changes, and noticing emotional responses.
David is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He offers sessions in English from the United Kingdom.

How therapy approaches shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without fighting them, and choosing actions that match your values; it can help with anxiety, stress and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to reduce unhelpful patterns, which can suit depression and anxiety. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on a respectful, non-judgemental relationship where the person sets the pace and direction of work.Finding the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with you about your goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that could fit. You can try methods and adjust them over time until something feels useful.
If you are considering online therapy, check the session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make fitting sessions around work and family life easier and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when that suits a busy day, or quieter conversations without needing long journeys. Confirm available session formats during the booking steps and the therapist will help you choose what fits your routine.
