About David Goodman

David Goodman is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who combines client-centered therapy with Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) to support people through difficult times. He holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects his professional commitment and training.

David works with clients experiencing anxiety, stress, depression, low self-esteem, trauma, emotional overwhelm, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions. He offers EMDR as a therapeutic option; EMDR is a structured approach designed to help process traumatic memories, reduce anxiety, and shift stuck emotional patterns when talking alone does not feel sufficient.

His practice is grounded in a client-centered philosophy that recognises each person as the expert in their own life. Rather than directing or attempting to "fix" someone, he aims to provide a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can explore their experiences, build insight, and work toward healing at a pace that feels right for them.

Reaching out for support is often a brave first step. Whether a person is seeking relief from past experiences, greater clarity, or a deeper understanding of themselves, David Goodman offers steady, empathic support and professional tools to accompany clients on their journey.

One of the main advantages is flexibility: clients can connect in the way that feels most comfortable, choosing from video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This variety of options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule or to access support from a different location.

Therapists offering these services are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists if they feel a different fit would be more helpful. Online therapy can be a practical, accessible way to receive professional support while maintaining the continuity and therapeutic focus people look for in counselling.
