David Smallwood

Counselling & Psychotherapy

DAVID SMALLWOOD –

Are you facing personal challenges affecting your wellbeing? Whether due to work stress, relationship issues, substance use, or other behaviours, please remember—you’re not alone. Many people share similar struggles, and I have supported individuals in their journeys at leading private treatment centres. I now offer my services through a discreet practice focused on positive change.

My specialisations include addiction, childhood trauma, co-dependency, and sexuality. I aim to create a warm, non-judgmental space for you to explore your feelings and experiences.

Recognising symptoms of poor mental health—like anxiety, depression, or feelings of worthlessness—can be the first step toward healing. Therapy serves as a powerful tool to address these issues, develop coping strategies, and foster self-acceptance.

If you’re uncertain about starting this journey, I encourage you to reach out. Connecting with a compassionate therapist can make a real difference. Together, we can work toward a more fulfilling and authentic life.

What people are saying

I have worked with David Smallwood for many years and have found his approach to be a constant revelation into our understanding of the devastating effects that addiction has on individuals, families and society.

- Dr Neil Brener, Consultant Psychiatrist

David has helped me tremendously over the years to help realise and overcome childhood trauma and codependency so that I can live a happier and more content life. Life can still be challenging but I feel supported by David and assured that all matters can be considered and rationalised and a plan set in place to counteract problems as and when they arise.

- James

David irrevocably and inspiringly changed my life, and probably saved it on a couple of occasions. Having tried other therapists, it was the genuine care, understanding, and ‘real world’ support that David provides which is the difference that makes the difference. As someone plagued with shame and limiting beliefs, David has allowed me to navigate myself and simply put, get out of my own away. He has been and continues to be an inspiration.

- Stephen

David’s practical, understanding, honest, non theory laden approach is everything I have required to get back on my feet and move to prosperity (and I don’t mean financial). From the worst times of my mid adult life to where I am today he has been there.

- Rory, Ireland

Put simply; David Smallwood has changed my life! He’s approach to therapy and the road to recovery is second to none. I urge anyone who wants a better way of life to meet this wonderful man.
