About David
BACP. 10 years' experience. David Jackson works with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, depression, and related issues using an integrative, client-led approach. He is based in the United Kingdom and provides counselling in English.
David describes his work as drawing on several therapy models to match what each person needs. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Imago Relationship Therapy and Client-Centred methods depending on the issue. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on practical ways to manage thoughts, feelings and relationship patterns.
He also lists specialist areas such as LGBT concerns, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, ADHD and bipolar alongside subjects like body image, chronic illness, adoption and foster care issues, and intimacy-related difficulties. He mentions work with trauma, abuse, and family conflict, and with people coping with major life changes.
David has experience as a lead counsellor at a sixth-form college and works as a counselling supervisor. That background informs his practice and his work with people who want structured support or reflective space to consider next steps in work and relationships.
To start, clients complete an online matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site. His sessions use a subscription system that can be cancelled at any time; fees vary by location and are set through that subscription process.
How David uses ACT, CBT and client-centred work online
David commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and focus on actions that match their values. ACT can help with anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and works on small, practical changes that reduce distress. CBT is often used for anxiety, stress and depression where people want clear tools and steps to try between sessions.
Client-Centred Therapy concentrates on the person’s experience in the room and on careful listening and reflection. It supports people who want a steady, collaborative relationship to work through issues such as relationship patterns or self-esteem concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then agree a way of working that suits the client’s needs.
Session arrangements should be confirmed before booking because formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into daily life, for example by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-ins around work breaks, or removing the need to be on camera when unwanted. Confirm the exact session format and scheduling options during the initial matching and booking process.
