Dr David Fong

We are all facing some unprecedented difficulties in the world today, the impact of social media and the climate crisis to name just two. It's no wonder that levels of anxiety in teenagers, burnout in adults and mental health distress in general are reaching new heights. In the face of increasing difficulties in accessing support in public services, it's easy to feel lost and unsure of where to look when considering support.

Looking for that support - for  ourselves or a loved one - can be a baffling process. It can help to look for someone's professional experience and accreditation with reputable and verifiable bodies. I hope you'll be reassured by my three decades of professional experience as a clinical psychologist, coach and therapist and accreditation with multiple trusted sources. I receive consistently excellent feedback from clients and client groups and I'm always working to improve my practice; to this end, I now routinely offer appointments outdoors in green spaces where the combination of movement, access to immediate and real world applications of ideas and techniques and all the benefits of being outdoors have proven extremely popular and successful.

I offer sessions that integrate the best features of therapy with coaching. This provides the flexibility of approach and avenues of support that I have found my clients asking for to help manage not just one part of a problem but to help a person feel integrated and heard. You set the goal, and then we map out the terrain together using different tools and strategies to help us navigate. As my approach is very integrative, I can help people work towards goals that may be extremely varied and don't use a one size fits all approach.

 I started my career in mental health being curious about people and wanting to help – and both of these things still drive my practice today. Why not get in touch and have a free 20 minute phone/zoom call - I'm available at davidfongpsychology@gmail.com and you can find out a bit more about me on my website at davidfongpsychology.co.uk.
