David Jackson

David Jackson is a BACP counsellor with ten years of practice. He offers a calm, approachable presence for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns. David aims to make the first step feel manageable and straightforward for anyone who is worried about seeking help.

He follows a client-led style that shapes sessions around what feels most useful to each person. That may mean drawing on cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking, using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to clarify values, or using emotionally focused methods when relationships are the focus. The choices are made together in session.

David also works with matters such as parenting strain, career pressures, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. He has experience supporting people with chronic illness, body image worries, bereavement and change. Where sexual and relationship issues arise, he brings a professional, non-judgemental approach to those conversations.

He has held roles including lead counsellor at a sixth-form college and works as a counselling supervisor. That background informs a straightforward, practical style in sessions. David aims to help people notice small changes that make everyday life easier.

Sessions are offered in English and are based in the United Kingdom. If you want to begin, use the Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire to arrange a time that fits your schedule.

How David's approaches work in online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify what matters to them and to take small steps that align with those values. It can help with anxiety, depression and coping with life changes by shifting focus from avoiding difficult thoughts to building a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical techniques to reduce distress and improve everyday coping. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and name emotions so they can change unhelpful patterns in close relationships and improve connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. David uses a collaborative process to decide what fits best for each person. He listens to your goals and preferences, explains options in simple terms, and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Please confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also make it possible to have conversations from a place that works around work, family and other commitments. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors and therapists, commonly use online work to maintain continuity of care and to broaden access without promising a specific outcome.
