About Davinia
Davinia Eccleston is an integrative counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She draws on six years of practice and prior roles in NHS clinical team leadership and GP practice counselling to support people facing a wide range of concerns.
Davinia offers a calm, listening presence and aims to make clients feel heard and understood from the first session. She creates a comfortable space where people can talk about past experiences and current problems that are causing distress.
Background and approach
Davinia focuses on giving her full attention and empathy while following the client’s agenda. Her approach adapts to what each person needs in the moment rather than following one fixed method. In practice she uses a mix of talking techniques and structured methods to tackle issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship worries.
She also works with stress, addictions, grief, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD and concerns linked to LGBT identity. Davinia pays attention to broader pressures too, including work stress, caregiver strain, financial worries and experiences of prejudice and discrimination. People looking for support can expect someone who listens without rush and who checks in about what will help them most.
She aims to work collaboratively to set goals and try practical steps between sessions. Her background in NHS settings informs a straightforward, practical style that suits people wanting clear, steady support. Sessions are conducted in English and Davinia is based in the United Kingdom.
International clients can be accepted, and practical arrangements for working together are discussed when booking.

How Davinia’s approaches translate to online work
Davinia uses client-centred ways of working alongside cognitive behavioural techniques and trauma-focused methods. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening closely and following the client’s agenda, which helps people feel understood and able to talk about difficult topics. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying practical exercises to change patterns, useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties. Trauma-Focused Therapy pays attention to the impacts of past harm and uses careful, paced methods to reduce distress and build coping skills.Finding the right approach is part of the process, and the therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that fit a person’s needs and goals. That means talking through what feels helpful, trying techniques in session, and checking progress together to adjust the plan as required.
The biography does not list specific session formats for online work, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy around work and family commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online meetings can also make it easier to access a therapist while living in a different region or country. Registered or accredited professionals can discuss practical arrangements when you start the matching and scheduling process.
