Approach
How Davey works
Davey combines person-centred counselling and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), tailoring each session to the individual. His style is calm, practical, collaborative and non-judgemental. Where appropriate and agreed, Davey also likes to offer outdoor ‘walk and talk’ sessions in natural or coastal settings. Walking beside the sea or spending time in nature can provide a relaxed alternative to a traditional indoor session, helping conversation feel more natural and giving clients space to reflect.
Values
Compassion, respect, honesty, inclusivity and practical support, always centred on the individual.
