About Davinia

Counsellor (BACP), 6 years' experience. Davinia Eccleston helps people with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression and a range of everyday pressures. She works with adults on concerns such as relationships, parenting, grief, addiction and work-related strain. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.

Davinia trained as an integrative counsellor and is a registered member of the BACP. She previously worked as an NHS clinical team leader and as a counsellor in GP practice, which informs how she structures sessions. Her practice focuses on listening and following the client’s priorities while drawing on different therapeutic methods as needed.

Her approach is person-centred in emphasis. She aims to help people feel heard and to make space for their thoughts and feelings. She uses practical techniques from cognitive behavioural and solution-focused work to address patterns and set small, achievable goals.

For experiences of trauma and abuse she also draws on trauma-focused and psychodynamic ideas to understand how past events influence present reactions. That combination is used to look at difficult memories and current coping strategies in a gradual way.

Davinia keeps sessions directed by the client’s agenda and adapts methods across conversations. She asks about what a person wants to change and then uses talking, short exercises and reflection to work towards those aims. To start, people complete a short questionnaire and book an initial session through the online booking flow.

How her approaches shape online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience. The therapist follows the client’s lead, offers reflective feedback and supports people to clarify what matters to them. This approach is often used for issues like low self-esteem, relationship concerns and everyday stress.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It uses simple, practical techniques to spot unhelpful patterns and try small behavioural experiments. This can help with anxiety, depression and sleep or eating difficulties.

Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past events continue to affect daily life. It aims to work slowly through difficult memories and current coping strategies, reducing the hold of those memories over time.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and how you respond to different methods, and then agree a plan together. That collaborative process helps match techniques to each person’s needs.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins or longer single sessions depending on how someone prefers to meet. Registered or accredited professionals can offer different practical arrangements to suit daily life.
