David is a BACP accredited person-centred therapist, teacher and writer. He has been practising since 2016 and has worked with adults, young people and children. He has also recently qualified from an accredited EMDR course, having decided to train after benefiting from EMDR himself, and is still in the process of working out how EMDR can fit in with his person-centred practice.

Alongside seeing clients in private practice, he also works as a Crisis Specialist Worker for a service that offers an alternative to a hospital, where people in acute mental health crisis are given person-centred support in a residential setting and can stay for up to a week. Past roles also include managing a counselling service in a primary school, and teaching on the Level 4 Counselling Diploma, supporting students to become qualified counsellors. In a previous life he was also a primary school teacher.
