About David

David Mattis is an integrative counsellor who prioritises a trusting, collaborative relationship as the foundation for therapeutic work. He aims to create a calm, welcoming space where people can feel comfortable exploring difficult topics at a pace that suits them. David approaches every client with empathy, respect, and authenticity, working together to build a relationship that is transparent and meaningful rather than prescriptive.

As an integrative practitioner he draws on a range of established methods, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, person-centred work, and psychodynamic ideas, tailoring his approach to each person’s needs. He specialises in anxiety, depression, OCD, phobias, trauma, low self-esteem, and substance misuse, and also supports clients seeking personal growth or clarity about life circumstances.

David emphasises collaboration in therapy - goals and the pace of work are decided together so that short-term or longer-term therapy can be shaped around what the client needs. He offers a space to address issues that may have been avoided or suppressed and to regain a sense of direction and control. He holds the NCPS credential, a recognised professional counselling credential, and brings ten years of experience to his practice.

Therapeutic approaches for online counselling

Client-centered work focuses on building a supportive, non-judgemental relationship in which the therapist listens carefully and follows the client's lead. This approach helps people gain clarity, self-acceptance, and a stronger sense of agency when facing life changes or low self-esteem.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, goal-focused method that helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, phobias, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand and work through core emotions and attachment-related patterns, and can be especially useful for trauma, relationship wounds, and deep feelings of emptiness or abandonment.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. David works collaboratively with clients to explore which methods suit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress and insight develop.

Online therapy with registered professionals offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and alternative options such as live chat or text-based messaging are available. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, to access support from different locations, and to continue work between sessions when needed.
