About David
David Gibson is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on sleep and rest alongside a wide range of concerns. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression and relationship challenges. David is a member of the BACP, and he aims to make it easier for someone to take that first step towards help.
He draws on Client-Centred principles to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through what’s worrying them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used where thinking patterns and behaviours are getting in the way of sleep, mood or daily life. Solution-Focused techniques help set small, achievable goals that fit into a busy routine.
David has worked in counselling roles for 13 years and has supported people with trauma, abuse, eating and intimacy-related issues. He also helps with parenting strain, workplace stress, ADHD and concerns such as codependency or midlife transitions. His experience includes work with addictions and with clients coping with major life changes.
Sessions aim to be practical and straightforward. Conversations often start with what keeps someone awake or what makes problems feel worse, then move to clear steps to try between meetings. David encourages a steady pace, tailored to each person’s needs and rhythm.
For people worried about sleep or facing shame, guilt, impulsivity or low self-esteem, he offers a listening ear and concrete options to try. He accepts international clients and works in English, using his experience to help people rebuild routines and rest.
How his approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being heard. It means the counsellor listens without judgement and follows the person’s lead to help them make sense of what is happening. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and offers practical exercises to change them, which can be useful for sleep, anxiety and mood. Solution-Focused Therapy aims at small, achievable steps and short-term goals to build momentum and improve daily routines.Choosing the right approach is part of the work itself. He will discuss goals, preferences and what the person feels comfortable trying, and then together they will decide which methods to lean on. That collaborative planning helps tailor support to each person’s needs and circumstances.
The practical benefits of online therapy can make it easier to fit help into everyday life. Online sessions can save travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed and make it simpler to schedule around work or parenting.
