Welcome to thinkWell

My name is David Watkinson. I created thinkWell Practice to help individuals and businesses create change that is meaningful, lasting, and rooted in real understanding. My approach is pluralistic, drawing upon psychodynamic, humanistic, and cognitive-behavioural modalities to provide tailored, person-centred support for every client. This allows me to adapt my work to each individual’s needs – whether the goal is emotional healing, behavioural change, or personal growth.

In more complex or multidisciplinary settings, I also draw upon Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) modalities, collaborating with NHS and MDT teams to address complex behavioural challenges and promote sustainable wellbeing.

As a qualified hypnotherapist, I also work at the subconscious level, where lasting change begins. Hypnotherapy helps clients break unhelpful habits, manage anxiety and fear, and build confidence by creating new, healthier patterns of thought and behaviour.

My work bridges mental health, leadership development, and behavioural psychology, bringing clarity, compassion, and practical change to both individual and organisational contexts.
