David Willett
Practical support for addiction and low mood
About David
David Willett offers straightforward support for people dealing with addiction, low mood, stress, anxiety and anger. He aims to help people who struggle with self-esteem, compulsive behaviours, or a sense of emptiness. He writes in a direct, respectful way and keeps sessions tailored to each person.
David holds BACP accreditation and has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He works with practical problems like drug and alcohol addiction and process addictions such as pornography, exercise or gambling.
Background and approach
He also supports people facing relationship and communication problems, codependency and commitment worries. Conversations often centre on what feels most urgent and on small steps that make daily life easier. David adapts his approach to each person rather than using the same method for everyone.
He focuses on collaborative goal-setting and on building coping tools to reduce distress between sessions. He aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where difficult feelings can be named and understood. He also offers support for issues like guilt and shame, body image concerns, isolation and life-purpose questions.
End-of-life and hospice-related conversations are included among his practice areas when those topics are relevant to a person’s wellbeing. Sessions are available in English and can be arranged for people in the United Kingdom and internationally. David encourages anyone feeling stuck to reach out and begin with a short matching questionnaire to find the right way to start therapy.

Approaches that guide online sessions
David uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the issues a person brings. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful behaviour patterns and replacing them with practical alternatives to reduce cravings or compulsive acts; this kind of work helps with addictions and process-related problems. Another approach centres on mood and anxiety management, teaching simple strategies to lower stress and manage overwhelming thoughts so daily tasks become more manageable.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, and then agree a plan that feels doable. This collaborative process allows adjustments as progress is made or new priorities emerge.
Online sessions offer flexibility that can fit busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper discussion, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging make brief check-ins and ongoing support easier between meetings. These options help people keep therapy going despite changing schedules or travel.
