BACP Registered Psychotherapist
​
Welcome.
As a BACP‑registered psychotherapist serving Norwich (NR2) and (NR10), I work with adults facing periods of transition or distress. A relationship breakdown, loss, or simply feeling “stuck” can leave us questioning who we are and what matters.
Psychotherapy offers a consistent, confidential space to explore these challenges. I provide warm, collaborative therapy—both in person in Norwich and Horsford and online—to help you make sense of your experiences and move toward lasting change.
​
Clients bring a variety of presenting issues like depression, anxiety and grief. They also bring issues related to anger or passivity or trust.​
They may feel their lives lack meaning or find themselves operating inauthentically, needing to re-orientate and reconnect with who they are.
Other clients are struggling to move into maturity and take responsibility of their lives or transitioning into mid-life or later life. They have reached a stage where they can no longer put off change
​
An integrative, attachment‑informed approach to therapy
​
I provide integrative psychotherapy in Norwich and Horsford, drawing from evidence‑based methods to
support the whole person. My diploma gave me a solid foundation in psychodynamic and
attachment‑informed approaches, humanistic and cognitive techniques, and, when useful, body‑based or mindfulness practices. I often use Internal Family Systems (IFS)–informed work, which recognises that we all
have different “parts” and aims to bring them into balance. Integrating IFS with somatic awareness
acknowledges that our bodies can hold memories and emotions, gentle attention to bodily sensations can
help release long‑held tension and integrate mind and body. My approach is also psychodynamic, so we
explore patterns rooted in early relationships and how they might still play out—even within the therapy
relationship. Research shows that the quality of the therapeutic alliance is key to positive outcomes, so I
focus on building a strong, trusting relationship where you feel safe to explore and grow.
Norwich & Horsford therapist with a broad clinical background
​
I’m David Waterman, a Norwich‑based integrative psychotherapist. After completing a foundation in
Counselling and Psychotherapy at the Minster Centre, I trained as an Integrative Psychotherapist at the
Centre for Counselling and Psychotherapy Education. That four‑year diploma involved extensive study and
supervised practice in psychodynamic, humanistic, Gestalt, body‑oriented and creative approaches, as
well as transpersonal perspectives that explore meaning and purpose. This breadth allows me to tailor
therapy to each individual’s needs.
Before qualifying as a psychotherapist, I spent over 20 years working in
factual television production. That background taught me the value of listening deeply and helping people
tell their stories—skills I now bring to my therapeutic work in Norwich and online across the UK
​
Your first therapy session in Norwich or online
​
Taking the first step into therapy can feel vulnerable. The initial session (50 minutes) is an opportunity to
share what brings you and to see whether my way of working resonates with you. We will discuss what
you hope to gain from therapy and begin to identify themes we might explore together. Sessions are
typically weekly at £60. I see clients in person in Norwich (NR2) and Horsford (NR10) and also offer
online counselling across the UK. This flexibility means you can access therapy wherever you feel most
comfortable.
​
Session length: 50 minutes
Fee: £60
Frequency: Weekly (same day/time each week)

If you’d like to arrange an introductory session or ask a question about how I work, please feel free to email or call. A brief conversation is often enough to decide whether working together feels right. There’s no obligation to book—sometimes an exploratory chat provides clarity on next steps
