About David
David Mattis is an NCPS counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 10 years of practice. He focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes. He also addresses related concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, substance misuse, and issues that often affect men and fathers.
David works collaboratively and at a pace set by the person in therapy. Sessions centre on building a reliable working relationship so people can talk honestly about difficult material. He emphasises clarity and openness about the process rather than jargon or quick fixes.
His approach is integrative. That means he draws on several methods and matches them to what the person needs. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used when challenging unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Client-Centred Therapy supports people to find their own solutions through reflective listening. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps with attachment and relationship-related distress.
Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy are used for change-oriented work, such as addressing substance use or building practical coping steps. David uses professional judgement to combine techniques during sessions rather than following one rigid model.
Sessions are conducted in English. International clients are accepted, and the service uses a subscription system for payments that can be cancelled at any time. Prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.

Therapeutic approaches and working online
David commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in day-to-day work. CBT focuses on noticing and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which helps with anxiety, depression and many stress-related problems. EFT concentrates on emotions and attachment patterns, which can be useful when relationship issues or abandonment wounds are part of someone’s difficulty.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss goals, past experience of therapy and practical preferences, then agree on methods to try. Sessions can shift approach over time as needs and goals change.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life because it reduces travel and can allow shorter check-ins or evening appointments. Many people find it helpful to work by video when visual connection matters, or by phone when a quieter setup or lower bandwidth is needed. Registered or accredited professionals adapt the practical setup to suit each client’s situation and daily routine.
