David Dunlevy , BACP

David Dunlevy is a fully qualified online counsellor who offers individualized mental health support for people navigating a wide range of emotional challenges. With a focus on practical, empathetic care, he works with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties and the personal growth challenges that often accompany life transitions. David also provides specialised grief and bereavement counselling and has additional training in baby and pregnancy loss, including miscarriage and stillbirth, accredited by SANDS.

He creates a non-judgmental, supportive space where clients can explore their patterns, build resilience and gain clearer perspective on difficult situations. Sessions are conducted virtually to make therapy accessible from wherever a client is located in the United Kingdom. David holds the BACP credential - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - reflecting his commitment to professional standards and ongoing development.

Using evidence-informed methods and a collaborative stance, he tailors therapeutic approaches to each person rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution. Whether seeking short-term coping strategies or longer-term emotional healing after loss, David guides clients through practical steps toward improved well-being and restored connection to themselves and others.

If someone is ready to begin, David invites them to schedule an online counselling appointment to discuss goals and next steps for their therapy journey.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support with David Dunlevy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and learn practical ways to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful action - it is useful for anxiety, stress and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a trusting, empathetic relationship where the client leads the pace and direction of work - it supports self-exploration, relationship concerns and grief. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which can help with depression, anxiety and coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and David works collaboratively with clients and other licensed professionals to determine which methods best fit an individual’s needs, goals and preferences. He adapts the work over time so the approach evolves as progress is made.

Online therapy with David is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. This format makes it easier to access consistent support without traveling, and it allows clients to engage in therapy in ways that suit their daily life and commitments.
