David Carpenter gained substantial training in counselling and psychology when he trained at Coventry University, and qualified in social work in 1983. While working as a Social Worker, he trained in hypnotherapy, was qualified by what was then the British Council of Hypnotist Examiners in 1989, and began practice as a hypnotherapist.

He began training in the approach to psychotherapy called Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), gained NLP foundation skills certification in 1990, certification as an NLP Practitioner in 1991, and certification as a Master Practitioner in 1997, becoming an NLP Psychotherapist accredited by the NeuroLinguistic Psychotherapy and Counselling Association (NLPtCA), registered with the UK Council for Psychotherapy. In 1998 he was elected a Fellow of the Hypnotherapy Society.

The work has included staff counselling for a number of large organisations in public and private sectors and work with private individuals, some of whom have referred themselves, while others have been referred by Medical Practitioners. In addition, for some years he taught practice development as part of ongoing training for therapists.

Until recently, David was also a member of the NLPtCA Accreditation Team, which is responsible for evaluating the training, experience and professional practice of those applying for Accreditation, and accrediting applicants when appropriate.

Now semi-retired, he is still a Fellow of the Hypnotherapy Society, and continues to work with individuals who phone the practice number seeking therapy, offering them a first free consultation appointment. He no longer maintains membership of the NLPtCA or the UKCP.

He no longer accepts referrals from Employee Assistance Programmes. He no longer has an NHS Supplier Number, so is not able to accept NHS Referrals, though medical practitioners are welcome to advise patients to contact him personally.
