About David
David Jackson uses a practical, person-focused approach to help people who are under strain. He combines evidence-based methods with a warm, straightforward manner. David is a BACP counsellor with ten years of clinical experience and supervision practice.
He speaks English and works from the United Kingdom. David keeps sessions centred on the person in front of him. He helps people spot unhelpful patterns, try small experiments, and notice what matters most to them.
Background and approach
Conversations are plain and collaborative, with practical steps to try between meetings when appropriate. He works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy difficulties, and issues linked to sexual identity. He also supports people with career strain, parenting challenges, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue.
Additional focus areas include body image, chronic illness, adoption and foster care questions, and coping after traumatic events. David draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and client-centred work. He adapts these methods to the needs and goals of each person rather than following a single formula.
Sessions can include reflective conversation, practical tools, and relationship-focused work when relevant. He has spent time leading counselling services in an educational setting and provides clinical supervision. That experience informs a calm, structured way of working.

Online support
He also draws on client-centred principles which place the person's experience at the heart of the work. That means listening closely, reflecting back what’s important, and shaping the sessions around each person's goals. Deciding which approach to use is a shared process - the therapist will discuss options and adapt the work to the individual's needs and preferences.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls suit longer conversations where seeing cues helps, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can work for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help people fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments.
