About David Francis
Drawing on an integrative framework, David blends methods from Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, and Psychodynamic Therapy to tailor work to each person's needs. That flexible approach allows him to adapt techniques and interventions to what is most helpful for the individual rather than relying on a single modality.
He has supported people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, family problems, intimacy-related issues, eating difficulties, anger, and coping with life changes. Additional focuses include abandonment and attachment issues, avoidant personality patterns, body image and codependency, communication and control problems, divorce and separation, domestic violence, guilt and shame, isolation and jealousy.
David offers a non-judgemental, compassionate space where clients can explore difficulties at their own pace. He provides therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. He is not currently accepting new clients.

Integrative approaches adapted for online therapy
David frequently draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes a supportive, non-judgemental relationship where the therapist follows the client's lead and helps build self-awareness and confidence. This approach is helpful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship concerns, and life transitions.He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. CBT is practical and goal-focused, often useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping strategies.
Attachment-Based Therapy is another key component, exploring how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses. This work can support people struggling with abandonment, attachment difficulties, intimacy-related issues, and relationship dynamics.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is handled collaboratively. David works with clients to identify which methods best match their goals, preferences, and circumstances so the plan evolves with the client.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit support into a busy life. Licensed professionals and therapists can deliver meaningful therapeutic work through these formats, allowing consistent access to care from different locations.
