I work flexible hours within reason to accommodate the lives of my clients - for example, evening appointments are no problem up until 8 PM.  Please with me for availability. 

Feeling Overwhelmed? You’re Not Alone.

If you're finding that daily life feels increasingly overwhelming, like you're running on empty, emotions swinging unpredictably, or a lingering sense of unease about what's ahead, you’re not imagining it. Anxiety can creep in quietly, until eventually it colours every aspect of life.

My name is David Pender, and I work across two private therapy practices in the heart of London. My method is rooted in a collaborative, strengths-based approach, where you remain the expert of your journey, and I walk alongside you. Together, we’ll slow the spiral of stress, restore regulation to your nervous system, and cultivate your inner resilience so you can navigate anxiety with greater confidence and calm.

Reclaiming Balance, Purpose, and Clarity

When the foundations of wellbeing, personal growth, health, relationships, purpose, and security are in sync, life can feel intensely satisfying. But when one or more of these areas fall out of alignment, the effects ripple: joy fades, motivation stalls, and peace of mind slips away.

The good news? Imbalance isn’t a life sentence; it’s a signal. And with the proper support, it’s possible to realign your life and rediscover what gives it meaning. If you’re unsure where to begin, we can explore together.

Client Reflections

Clients often tell me that solution-focused therapy offers a refreshing shift from problem-heavy conversations to building hope and momentum. One shared that while the initial steps were tough, they began to see themselves not through the lens of hardship, but through resilience they hadn’t recognised.

Motivational interviewing, CBT, and directional behaviour therapy all play a role in our work, shining a light on internal strengths, challenging long-held beliefs, and translating insight into action. And mindfulness practices, integrated throughout, provide the tools to stay grounded no matter the weather.

Areas of Focus

• Managing Anxiety
  Targeting intrusive thoughts with CBT tools, tailored coping strategies, and grounding techniques to reduce anxious symptoms.
• Building Self-Esteem
  Cultivating self-acceptance, dismantling critical self-talk, and celebrating progress instead of perfection.
• Overcoming Perfectionism
  Resetting unrealistic standards and exploring the costs of “never enough” thinking.
• Addressing Procrastination
  Tackling avoidance patterns with structured, compassionate tools to boost motivation and follow-through.
• Quieting Catastrophic Thoughts
  Encouraging a presence over ‘what ifs' and nurturing emotional resilience in the face of uncertainty.
• Rediscovering Purpose
  Exploring your core values and desires, reconnecting with what energises and fulfils you.

Relationship tensions, often intensified by anxiety, are another area where many seek support. Overthinking, misinterpretations, and fear-based assumptions can create friction.

Therapy offers a space to untangle those patterns and build stronger emotional insight.

Please visit my  for more information on my service.

Whether you prefer a face-to-face session near London Bridge or King’s Cross, or a convenient online evening appointment, I offer both at affordable rates. A complimentary first call allows us to connect and explore what support might look like for you.

• 💬 Online appointments – £60
• 🪑 In-person sessions – £75

Payments are made weekly in advance via BACS. Let’s take the first step toward easing that inner pressure and finding greater clarity in your life.
