Dave Jarrold

I specialise in supporting people experiencing stress, burnout, overwhelm, and the emotional pressures that can come from balancing demanding work, study, caring responsibilities, or major life changes. Before training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, I spent many years working in leadership, training, coaching, and organisational development roles, supporting individuals and teams across higher education, charities, and third-sector organisations. This background gives me a strong understanding of the real-world pressures people face, including workplace stress, perfectionism, people-pleasing, loss of confidence, and feeling stuck or emotionally exhausted. My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. Using CBT, I help clients better understand the patterns that may be maintaining stress and burnout, while developing healthier ways of coping, thinking, and responding. I aim to create a supportive space where clients feel heard without judgement, while also helping them build meaningful and sustainable change in their everyday lives.
