About David Wheatley
David Wheatley, NCPS, is a therapist based in Leeds, United Kingdom, who works face-to-face, online, and by telephone. He holds a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling (2021) and a BSc in Therapeutic Counselling (2024); NCPS is listed after his name as a professional credential. He has been engaged in practice since 2019, beginning as a placement student and progressing to paid work across private practice, the NHS, and through online services, accumulating over 800 hours of client contact while working under regular supervision every two weeks.
David draws on a person-centered approach that treats each person as the expert on their own experience. He listens carefully, reflects and reframes what is shared, and works to clarify concerns so clients can explore options that feel right to them. He emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion, creating a space where people can speak openly about relationships, family matters, grief and loss - including issues involving children - and transitions such as coping with life changes.
His clinical focus includes supporting people with stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, intimacy and relationship difficulties, and issues related to ADHD and compassion fatigue. He also offers help with family problems, caregiver stress, chronic illness and disability, end-of-life and hospice-related concerns, infidelity and separation, midlife challenges, and other areas that often accompany major life transitions.
Using client-centered methods alongside solution-focused techniques, David aims to collaborate with each person to identify practical steps and meaningful goals. He respects clients' autonomy, does not prescribe decisions, and supports people in finding their own way forward. If, after a few sessions, someone feels he is not the right match, he supports that choice and encourages them to seek what is best for their wellbeing.
