David Jackson, BACP

David Jackson is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with ten years of experience. He works with adults on common pressures such as stress, anxiety, depression and grief, and on relationship and intimacy concerns. He also supports people facing parenting strains, work stress, ADHD and issues linked to trauma and abuse.

David follows a client-led, integrative approach. He listens for what matters most to the person in front of him and draws from accepted models to guide sessions. Conversations are practical and focused, with space to talk about difficult feelings, behaviour patterns, and how those affect daily life.

He has experience in relationship and sex therapy and has supported people with intimacy-related issues and commitment worries. He has also worked in educational settings as a lead counsellor for a sixth-form college and as a counselling supervisor, which shapes how he works with adults dealing with family or parenting pressures.

Sessions use clear therapeutic methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused approaches, mixed with client-centred listening. The emphasis is on noticing what gets in the way and trying straightforward ways to change it.

People come to him for help with bereavement, career strain, body image, chronic illness and complex relationship patterns. If you are trying to manage life changes, cope with loss, or sort out difficult patterns at home, he offers practical conversation and longer-term support options.
