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 (possibly anxious, fed up, unfulfilled and so on) in important areas of your life.
I'm a holistic (Gestalt) therapist, meaning we’d work with the whole of your embodied mind: your beliefs, your feelings, your inner wisdom and more.
As well as offering talk therapy, you may benefit from creative approaches and learning energy psychology and mindfulness practices to help you gradually feel more safe and contained. I also offer strengths coaching that may reveal more purpose and energy.
‘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.
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 gently untangle what you’re struggling with and support positive change in your life.
'You were flexible, understanding and patient.'
‘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.'
'The only person you are destined
to become is the person
you decide to be.'
Ralph Waldo Emerson
