Dave J. Spencer

Hi, I’m Dave. I’m a counsellor, psychotherapist, CBT therapist, and mindfulness specialist.

I hold a wide range of professional qualifications, including:

• Post-Graduate Diploma with Distinction, in Counselling and Psychotherapy, from Liverpool John Moores University

• Masters of Science degree with Distinction, in Mindfulness, from The University of Aberdeen

I have worked as a wellbeing professional, with a wide range of clients and organisations,  since 2012. This has included extensive work with universities and colleges across the North West of the UK as a teacher, therapist and lecturer.

I have a specialism in mindfulness-based practices, and I regularly deliver mindfulness training for universities and organisations, as well as individual clients. Many clients come to me because of my experience of integrating these powerful practices with conventional counselling, psychotherapy, CBT and coaching.

I’m trained and experienced in supporting people with a wide range of issues. These include anxiety, depression, addiction, eating disorders, ADHD, and long-term health conditions.

My practice, first and foremost, is to listen to you. I want to understand what’s happening for you. Then we can work together, in collaboration, to find the best way forward.

I do this work because I care about people, and I want to be of use in the world. I also care about our capacity to heal, thrive and fulfil our potential. It inspires me!
