About David
David Jackson is a counsellor with ten years' experience who uses an integrative, client-led approach. He works with people facing depression, stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief and a range of other life challenges. David is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is shown as BACP.
He draws on several well-known approaches and adapts them to each person. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual, with practical steps and chances to talk things through.
Background and approach
The aim is to help people build coping skills and clearer ways of thinking about hard problems. David also has experience supporting intimacy and sexual concerns and works with relationship difficulties in a way that balances emotion and practical change. He has worked in education settings as a lead counsellor at a sixth-form college, and he offers supervision to other counsellors.
People who see him can expect a calm, straightforward style. He helps clients look at patterns that keep problems going and tries out small changes in thinking or behaviour. That might include learning new ways to manage stress or sorting out painful memories and grief.
Sessions are tailored to what each person needs, with a mix of talking, practical tools and collaborative planning. David aims to help people feel more in control, clearer about choices, and better able to cope with life changes.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. David works collaboratively to decide which methods suit the person's goals and preferences. He will discuss options, try different ways of working and adjust the plan as progress is made so therapy fits the person's needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which give practical flexibility. Video allows face-to-face conversation when that helps, phone sessions suit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth, live chat and messaging work well for regular written reflection and brief updates. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel or caring responsibilities and keep the process consistent even when life is busy.
