David Goodman , BACP

David Goodman is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who offers person-centred counselling alongside EMDR therapy. He holds BACP membership - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which signals his affiliation with the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK.

He works with people facing anxiety, stress, depression, low self-esteem, trauma, emotional overwhelm, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. EMDR is offered where talking alone may not feel sufficient; this approach supports the processing of traumatic memories, anxiety, and persistent emotional patterns that feel stuck.

David’s practice is grounded in a person-centred way of working, which recognises the client as the expert in their own life. Rather than directing or fixing, he provides a calm, non-judgemental environment where individuals can explore their experience, develop insight, and work toward change at a pace that feels right for them.

Reaching out for support is acknowledged as a brave step. Whether a person seeks clarity, relief from past experiences, or a deeper understanding of themselves, David offers steady, compassionate support as they move through the therapeutic process.

EMDR and Person-Centred Support Online

David Goodman offers two complementary approaches in his online practice. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and respect for the client’s own perspective - it is non-directive and helps people deepen self-understanding, build confidence, and navigate relationship or life transition challenges. EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing - is a structured approach used to help process traumatic memories and persistent emotional patterns when talking alone does not feel enough.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and David collaborates with each person to determine what fits best. He works with clients to clarify their goals, weighs the options together, and adapts methods to suit individual needs and preferences, creating a shared plan for progress.

Online therapy with David is designed to be flexible and accessible. Sessions can be delivered by video call, by phone, through live chat, or via text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose the format that fits their schedule and comfort level. Licensed professionals, including therapists, can use these remote options to provide consistent, ongoing support across distances.
