Davinia Eccleston, BACP

Davinia Eccleston is a qualified integrative counsellor and a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). She has worked as an NHS clinical team leader and previously practised as a counsellor within a GP practice, bringing clinical experience from both NHS settings and primary care.

She offers a comfortable, safe space where individuals can be heard and explore concerns or difficulties that may stem from past experiences or ongoing personal challenges. She aims to create an environment of reassurance and attentive listening, giving clients her full, undivided attention and empathy while they disclose thoughts, feelings, and issues that may have been difficult to share.

Working to the client’s agenda, she applies an integrative approach that draws on different techniques to support each person’s needs. Her practice emphasizes respect for pace and priorities, combining clinical background with a commitment to understanding and supporting people through their difficulties.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, non-judgmental space where the client’s own experiences and insights guide the work. This approach helps people explore feelings, build self-understanding, and identify what they need from therapy.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, and offers practical strategies to address patterns that contribute to problems like anxiety, low mood, and stress. It is often goal-oriented and skills-based.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and processing the impact of traumatic experiences, using tailored techniques to support recovery and improved coping. Licensed professionals and therapists commonly draw on these methods depending on presenting needs.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Davinia works collaboratively with each client to identify the best fit based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors techniques to individual circumstances and involves the client in decisions about how to proceed.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and ongoing contact can be maintained via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, provide more access across distances, and allow clients to choose the format that feels most comfortable for them.
