Hello, I’m David Mercatali, a qualified Humanistic Existential Counsellor based in Penarth. My approach puts you at the centre of the process. Together, we explore your thoughts, feelings, and challenges, allowing you to discover your voice and take steps toward meaningful change.
From the start, I aim to build a warm, collaborative space where you feel safe and heard. I don’t impose a rigid structure—instead, we shape the sessions around your needs and priorities. By checking in regularly, we ensure that the counselling stays relevant and effective.
Not everyone comes to therapy with the same background. Some clients have extensive experience with counselling; others are exploring it for the first time. Regardless of your history, I provide a non-judgemental environment where you can express yourself freely. My role is to help you reflect, grow, and find clarity, not to offer simple solutions.
I work with individuals who are facing emotional, relational, and existential difficulties. My practice is open, inclusive, and tailored to suit each client’s unique situation.
Rather than focusing solely on symptoms, this approach encourages deeper self-understanding. We examine your lived experiences, personal values, and how you relate to yourself and others. Through this exploration, you can create new meaning and develop healthier ways of being.
Counselling works best when you feel in control. That’s why we set clear goals together at the start and revisit them regularly. This collaborative process helps us track your progress and adjust our focus as needed.
I welcome clients from all walks of life. Whether you’re navigating personal loss, anxiety, stress, or simply need a space to think aloud, you’ll be met with empathy and respect. You don’t need to have a specific problem to benefit—sometimes, talking is enough to create change.
My sessions take place in a calm and private setting in Penarth. I also offer appointments in Bridgend or remotely via Zoom. Whether you prefer daytime or evening slots, I strive to accommodate your schedule.
