Experienced
Empowering
Supportive
Would you like the opportunity to talk to someone confidentially about issues that you are or have experienced. I work with clients experiencing abuse, anger, anxiety & stress, addiction, depression, relationship, self-confidence and workplace issues?
My experience working with clients from many and varied backgrounds is that the relationship developed between the client and counsellor is extremely important. The development of this therapeutic relationship gives you the client an opportunity realise an environment that feels trusting, supportive and empowering allowing you to bring what is important to you to your sessions.
I am an accredited psychotherapeutic counsellor and work with individual clients and couples on a short, medium and long term basis in my private practice having previously provided counselling in the NHS psychological therapy (IAPT) service.
David O’Connor – Psychotherapeutic Counsellor
About Me
I am a fully insured and accredited member of the National Counselling Society (NCS) as well as a member of the United Kingdom Association of Transactional Analysts (UKATA) and the European Association of Transactional Analysts (EATA).
Following 4 years of comprehensive training in Transactional Analysis Counselling, I hold a Degree level Diploma in Counselling (Dip Couns.)
As part of my professional development, I have also incorporated training and certification in areas including couples counselling, working with trauma, bereavement and loss, interpersonal neurobiology, advanced counselling and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) – a new type of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT).
My Approach
The therapy I offer is both integrative and humanistic with my core training being centred in the field of Transactional Analysis. This allows me to work with you and develop a therapeutic approach that meets your needs.
You may be looking for the opportunity to explore, clarify, gain or increase awareness of difficulties or problems that you are encountering. You may want to change unhelpful patterns of thoughts, feelings or behaviours.
I will support you in experiencing and finding your new pathway to a more comfortable and satisfying way of being in the world.
Get in touch for an introductory session if you would like to explore how we could work together.
Why Choose Me?
My personal and professional background has given me the opportunity to engage with many people from different and diverse backgrounds, enabling me to experience a variety of situations and outcomes.
I would love to give you the opportunity to bring your own challenges and difficulties in a compassionate, safe, trusting, and confidential environment.
