About David
David Stevens is a BACP counsellor based in Leeds. He helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, stuck, or overwhelmed and focuses on men’s wellbeing alongside other concerns such as relationships, work problems and grief.
His manner is straightforward and down-to-earth. Sessions aim to feel like a real conversation rather than a formal interview. He encourages openness and lets people set the pace they are comfortable with.
David uses a person-centred way of working and draws on solution-focused techniques when useful. That means sessions often centre on what matters most to the client now, with practical steps to try between meetings.
He has three years of experience and works with common difficulties such as trauma and abuse, depression, anger, and low self-esteem. He also offers support for issues like chronic illness, caregiving stress, communication problems, and fatherhood concerns.
People who choose him can expect a respectful space to talk through their situation, clarify goals, and explore realistic next steps. Reaching out is framed as a practical move toward feeling less burdened and finding ways to cope that suit everyday life.
How his approaches fit with online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person rather than labels. It means the counsellor listens closely, reflects what you say, and helps you find your own answers. This approach suits people who need space to make sense of feelings such as grief, emptiness or low self-esteem.Solution-Focused Therapy looks at practical steps and small changes that move things forward. It centres on clear goals and concrete actions, which can help with stress, work problems, and feeling stuck after life changes.
Finding the right way of working is a shared process. The therapist will talk through what you hope to achieve and try different small changes or conversational approaches until the best fit becomes clear. That decision will be guided by your needs, goals and preferences.
If you are considering online work, please confirm available session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so you can use a break from work. Registered or accredited professionals often find online work helps people maintain continuity of care when life is demanding.
