About David
David Jackson is a BACP counsellor with ten years' experience. He welcomes people who are facing anxiety, grief, depression, relationship or intimacy difficulties, and LGBT-related concerns. He aims to make the first step feel manageable and respectful.
David uses a client-led, integrative approach. Sessions draw on a mix of methods to suit the person in front of him. He focuses on what is happening now and on small, practical changes that can make daily life easier.
Background and approach
He has experience supporting those coping with stress, trauma and abuse, bipolar mood challenges, ADHD, and major life changes. He also works with issues such as self-esteem, career decisions, parenting pressures, and chronic illness or pain. In addition to therapeutic work, David has led counselling services at a sixth-form college and acts as a counselling supervisor.
That background means he is used to helping people find clarity, set realistic goals, and build skills they can use between sessions. People can expect warm, straightforward conversations that centre their priorities. David aims to create a calm space to talk through difficult feelings, weigh options, and practice new ways of coping.
He supports people who want both short-term help and longer-term change.

How David's approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values; it can help with anxiety, stress and life transitions. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, non-judgemental space where the person sets the pace and topics, which suits those needing a steady listening ear. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, useful for anxiety, low mood and coping skills.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit your goals and preferences. That might mean trying one way for a few sessions and adjusting as you learn what helps most.
Practical benefits of online work can include fitting sessions around busy days and avoiding travel time. Online sessions may also make it easier to check in during a shorter break, reduce the need to be on camera for the whole time, or support continuity when life is otherwise disruptive. The exact session formats should be confirmed before booking so you know what options are available and can choose what suits your routine.
