David Whitelock – Integrative Counsellor & Supervisor (BACP Accredited)

Sometimes life can feel overwhelming, and it can be hard to make sense of how we’re feeling or what we need. You may be struggling with anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, or a sense of being lost or disconnected. Whatever brings you here, I aim to offer a safe, understanding space where you can explore your experiences and begin to feel more whole and connected again.

I have over 15 years of experience working within the NHS, supporting people facing a wide range of challenges including depression, anxiety, bereavement, trauma, addiction, and long-term health difficulties. Before this, I worked as an addiction’s counsellor in a rehabilitation centre and have experience in supporting parents in educational settings.

I am a qualified Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) practitioner, which is particularly helpful when difficulties in relationships are linked to changes in mood or life events.
I’ve had the privilege of working with people from all walks of life – from young adults to those in their 90s, across different cultures, ethnicities and the LGBTQ+ community. I value diversity and aim to meet each person with openness and respect for their individuality and background.

As an integrative counsellor, I draw on different therapeutic approaches to create a way of working that best suits your needs. My focus is on helping you gain a deeper understanding of yourself, your relationships, and your emotions, so you can find balance, clarity, and confidence in moving forward.
I have experience of providing one to one, and group supervision for counsellors who practice in a variety of therapeutic models & disciplines such as person centred, psychodynamic, cognitive behavioural and relational therapies.

Sessions are available in person or online, and I offer both short- and longer-term therapy depending on what feels right for you.

Counselling prices are £50 per session for assessments & weekly ongoing sessions.

Supervision sessions start from £65 per session.

If you’d like to find out more or arrange an initial session, please get in touch. Taking that first step can feel daunting, but it can also be the start of something positive.
