About David
David Jackson is a BACP-accredited counsellor with ten years of experience based in the United Kingdom. He works with common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship and intimacy-related issues. He also offers support around parenting challenges, career pressures and life changes.
He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and client-centred methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding. Sessions focus on practical steps, clearer thinking, and small behaviour changes that can reduce day-to-day distress. David adapts the approach to each person’s situation rather than following a single fixed method.
David also works with issues that can come from trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, ADHD and longer-term mood conditions such as bipolar. He lists additional areas including body image, abandonment, adoption and foster care, chronic illness, and codependency.
He has experience supervising other counsellors and has been lead counsellor at a sixth-form college, which informs his practical, structured way of working. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals, exercises between meetings, and checking progress over time.
Sessions are conducted in English and are based in the United Kingdom. International work is not offered. Before booking, people should confirm current session options and scheduling details via the service’s online matching process.
How CBT and other approaches are used in online counselling
David commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thought patterns and test small behavioural changes. CBT sessions typically involve setting clear goals, practising skills between meetings and tracking progress to see what helps most.He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy which focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that reflect personal values. Client-Centred Therapy is part of his approach too, offering a steady, person-focused way of talking through problems and deciding on next steps.
Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist will discuss which approach fits a person’s goals and preferences, and adapt techniques as sessions progress. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
