DAVID KEIGHLEY, BA
David Keighley is a proud Yorkshireman and a graduate of Emmanuel College, Cambridge. His early career was spent in newspapers, radio and TV. He cut his teeth in weekly journalism, worked for the BBC as a news producer and executive, and became director of public affairs for the ITV breakfast television company TV-am. For the past 30 years, he has worked as an independent consultant in the TV news industry. He was a prime mover in setting up the world’s first regular international conference for news broadcasters, worked as chief executive of an organization developing public service broadcasting in Africa and is an acknowledged expert in surveying and fighting media bias in all its many types. His website in that domain is www.news-watch.co.uk.
In 2007, David became a magistrate (in the UK, a voluntary public service role as a lawyer-assisted lay judge) and quickly decided he wanted to train in family court cases. He served in that role for 13 years and dealt with hundreds of cases.
In 2010 – intrigued and concerned by what he saw happening in the family courts and determined to try to help – he studied for a postgraduate diploma as a psychotherapist, qualified in 2013 and now divides his time between his continuing role in the news industry and seeing around 20 private practice clients a week, both individuals and couples. He works using psychodynamic exploration, schema therapy, EMDR, and speciality couples therapy, and has worked extensively with clients experiencing parental alienation, as well as those who have suffered childhood trauma through sexual abuse and attachment neglect. Another speciality is helping those suffering from chronic pain.
His qualifications are that he is an accredited member of the British Association for Counseling and Psychotherapy, a member of the International Society of Schema Therapists, and has a diploma from the EMDR Europe organization. He is also trained as a clinical supervisor of other psychotherapists.
