About Davinia
Davinia Eccleston is a counsellor who uses an integrative, client-centred approach. She draws on several therapy styles to help people talk through stress, parenting worries, anxiety, trauma and other everyday struggles. Davinia aims to create a calm, listening space so people feel comfortable sharing difficult thoughts and feelings.
She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and brings six years of practice experience. Her background includes work as an NHS clinical team leader and counselling in a GP practice, which gives her experience with common health and life challenges.
Background and approach
In sessions Davinia focuses on the person in front of her. She gives undivided attention and works at the client’s pace. That may mean using client-centred listening alongside techniques from cognitive behavioural, psychodynamic, solution-focused or trauma-focused approaches when helpful.
People come to her for a wide range of concerns including depression, addictions, grief, parenting stress, sleeping and eating difficulties, anger and relationship issues. She also supports those dealing with cultural or identity-related stress, immigration matters and prejudice and discrimination. Practical goals, coping skills and clearer understanding of patterns often form part of the work.
Davinia aims to help people find steady ways to manage difficult feelings and everyday pressures. Sessions are offered in English and she meets people across the United Kingdom and internationally.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and creating a respectful, non-judgemental space where the person sets the pace and topics. It helps when someone needs to feel heard and to explore their own solutions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, manage low mood, or tackle unhelpful habits related to sleep, eating or parenting stress.
Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people who have been affected by past traumatic events. It uses techniques to process difficult memories and reduce the day-to-day impact of intrusive thoughts or strong emotional reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean trying one way for a few sessions and adapting as things change.
Online formats make it easier to access regular support. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when helpful, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suit quick check-ins or moments when writing feels easier. These options support flexibility around work, childcare and travel and let people choose what fits their routine.
