Davinia Eccleston , BACP

Davinia Eccleston is a qualified integrative counsellor and a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. With six years of clinical experience, she combines training and practical work to support people facing a wide range of challenges. She has worked as an NHS clinical team leader and has experience providing counselling within GP practice settings, bringing both frontline and leadership perspectives to her therapeutic work.

Davinia creates a comfortable, safe space where individuals can be heard and explore the issues that have affected them - whether those difficulties arise from past events or current life stresses. She offers reassurance and attentive empathy, giving full, undivided attention to each person as they share private thoughts and feelings. Working to the client’s agenda, she draws on an integrative approach that adapts techniques to meet individual needs, helping clients address concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship struggles, self-esteem issues, grief, parenting challenges, and other life transitions.

Her practice is person-focused and collaborative, tailored to support people from diverse backgrounds, including those navigating multicultural concerns, LGBT issues, caregiver stress, and immigration-related difficulties. Davinia aims to help clients feel understood and supported as they work toward clearer coping strategies and more manageable daily living.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Davinia works with client-centered therapy, which focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic environment so that clients can explore their feelings at their own pace - this approach is helpful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship concerns, and navigating life transitions. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a structured approach that looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and can support people dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, and some habit-related difficulties. For those affected by distressing events, trauma-focused therapy is available to help safely process traumatic experiences and reduce their ongoing impact.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the therapeutic process. Davinia works collaboratively with clients to explore goals, preferences, and needs, adjusting methods over time so therapy aligns with what is most helpful for each individual.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and comfort levels. This makes it easier for people to access support from home, while still working with licensed professionals and therapists who adapt their approach to each person's circumstances.
