Counselling and stress management in Southampton
Creative CPD for therapists
If you're exploring counselling or other types of wellbeing support, this page is for you. If you're a therapist, you may wish to check out my creative CPD offer.
Whatever's brought you here, I wish you well in finding what you're looking for.
David Whistance
Accredited Counsellor
Maybe I can help you take meaningful steps to meet, get to know and heal protective habits that keep you feeling stuck in important areas of your life.
Wherever you are on the scale from 'OK but want to thrive' to 'Feeling anxious and fed up' to 'Just not coping here', hopefully we can gently untangle what you’re struggling with to support positive change in you and your relationships.
As well as offering talk therapy, you may benefit from creative counselling. I also offer two holistic stress management practices: My own approach to energy psychology called Gestalt Acu-balancing, and Autogenic Training, a mindfulness-based method used since the 1930s. Finally, you may benefit from strengths coaching as a way to find more purpose and oomph.
Would you like to find out more? If so, let’s have a no-obligation 20-minute video or phone call to help see if we could do some good work together.
‘The sense of lonely struggle
and imminent failure is replaced
with an experience of life as a
supported journey to mastery.’
Steve Biddulph
Based in a quiet location in Bitterne SO19, I see people from Southampton, Hampshire and other parts of the UK. There’s free parking nearby and good bus/train services to my practice. I also offer video and phone appointments, which provide flexibility if you're local and overcome travel issues if you live further afield. My hourly fee is usually £50, see Appointment FAQs.

‘Really valued being able to explore and understand things more.’
‘The intensity of anger I was feeling has lessened significantly.’
'I can cope better even though life is still very stressful.'
'A valuable experience which was a great help to me.'
