About Ronald

Ronald Davis is a NCPS counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 15 years' experience supporting people with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief and relationship and intimacy-related concerns.

Ronald helps people who are facing addictive behaviours, panic and social anxiety, low self-esteem, workplace strain, or the distress that follows loss. He also supports issues around sexuality and LGBT matters, sexual functioning, and men’s midlife concerns. Sessions are presented in plain language and aim to identify what a person wants to change or understand.

His practice draws on Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy. That combination means some sessions are conversational and exploratory, while others use clear steps to try new ways of thinking and acting. He also offers life coaching approaches when goals are practical and forward-looking.

Ronald worked previously in Australia and now practises from Southend-on-Sea and Westcliff-on-Sea. He notes experience with drug and alcohol addiction, process addictions such as gambling or problematic sexual behaviour, and issues linked to HIV and shame. He describes his style as working collaboratively to find what helps most for each person.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time and cost varies by location. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not currently accepted. To begin, clients follow the site matching steps and schedule a first session.

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on giving people space to talk and be heard, with the counsellor reflecting what matters to them and following their lead. It is useful for grief, identity and relationship questions where exploration is needed. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and works on small practical steps to reduce anxiety or depressive patterns. It suits issues like panic, social anxiety and workplace stress. Motivational Interviewing helps people find internal reasons to change, which can be useful for drug and alcohol problems or other addictive behaviours.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ronald will discuss options and try different ways of working together to match the client’s goals, preferences and pace. That collaborative planning is revisited as progress is made or needs shift.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, family duties or travel limitations. Remote meetings can also allow shorter check-ins, reduce commuting time, and offer a way to continue work when in-person attendance is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals often use these practical benefits to make therapy easier to maintain alongside everyday life.
