About David
David Dunlevy is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of practice and a BACP accreditation. He focuses on helping people during stressful and painful periods. He aims to make first steps into therapy feel straightforward and manageable for people who are worried or overwhelmed.
He works with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, addictions and grief. He also supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting pressures, anger, low self-esteem and major life changes.
Background and approach
Additional areas of focus include attachment and communication difficulties, forgiveness, loneliness, men's issues, self-harm and challenges facing young adults. His approach draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when appropriate. He uses client-centred principles to shape sessions to each person’s needs.
In practical terms this means listening first, identifying what matters most, and agreeing on manageable steps to try between meetings. Sessions may involve talking through recent events, noticing emotional patterns and trying small experiments to change unhelpful reactions.
For grief or loss, he pays attention to the history and the present impact of the loss and helps people find ways to keep living with what has happened. For stress and anxiety the focus is on practical strategies and values-based action. He offers online formats including video, phone, live chat and text-based messaging so people can choose what suits them.

Online support
How approaches like EFT and ACT work online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotions in the moment and how they shape relationships and personal patterns. It helps people notice feeling patterns and try new ways of responding to themselves and others. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) works with values and small, purposeful actions to reduce avoidance and build a meaningful life. It often involves simple exercises to notice thoughts and choose actions that matter. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a warm, non-judgemental relationship where the counsellor listens carefully and follows the person’s pace.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will talk through what matters to the person, try approaches that feel suitable and adjust based on what helps. This is a collaborative process and the plan can change as needs do.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face to face without travel. Phone sessions can be chosen when bandwidth is limited or when being off-camera feels easier. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, shorter sessions or when someone prefers to write. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and day-to-day life.
