I have worked with clients around issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, gender/sexuality, career, spirituality, family/relationships, and the pursuit of self-growth.
Hi my name is Dan Jackson. I got into counselling for two reasons: Firstly, to help people grow into their fullest and best selves. And secondly, to help people who are struggling to find relief and restoration.

I work with adults (age 18+) experiencing a range of life challenges and mental health difficulties, including trauma, anxiety, OCD, low mood, LGBTQIA+ issues, and relationship difficulties.
I strive to be neurodiversity, gender, sexuality, and ethical non-monogamy affirming in my practice. I recognise that wellbeing is shaped by societal, historical, and cultural contexts, and I’m committed to offering holistic, trauma-informed, and tailored support that acknowledges these influences.

I specialise in supporting clients to release anxiety and stress and transform their lives using evidence-based psychology, meditation and mindfulness.
My approach is very holistic, humanistic and embodied. This means that I work with the mind/psychology (thinking, thoughts, emotions), the body (sensations and feelings) and what is often referred to as the ‘spirit’ (a deep connection with yourself, others and the world) and I empower clients to have agency and authority over their own life and wellness.

We all want to live a life full of meaning and purpose. But sometimes our thoughts and feelings, habits, and attitudes seem to get in the way. The struggle with thoughts and feelings often leads to self-limiting choices and habits. Whatever difficulties you may be experiencing, there is always the potential for change. Reaching out to someone with a compassionate ear and practical suggestions is a first step in the right direction. I am passionate about helping people who are struggling, using tools I have learned through years of study, combined with my own personal life experiences and qualities.

I work with people who are feeling overwhelmed or stuck, dealing with the impacts of past trauma, relationship difficulties, anxiety, grief, heartbreak, or a sense of emptiness or unease.
I primarily use psychodynamic therapy to help you explore how past experiences may be influencing your present. With a strong background in restorative practices and training across a range of therapeutic approaches, I tailor our work to what best supports you, rather than following a fixed model.

Alongside this there may be psychoeducation for anxiety management and as an important component for an understanding of the mind & body connection that happens when we are stressed, anxious or triggered.
Often when things become stuck in our lives, when there is repeated conflict or situations we don’t want anymore, we come to a point where we want something to change. Talking to a counsellor can help move these situations and unlock stuck patterns or behaviours and open up a new way of looking at the world and being. Sometimes the things we want to share can feel frightening to say out loud, and we fear the judgement that saying these things will bring – this, for me, is a huge part of the benefit of counselling and what it offers people.

What are the most common treatments for anxiety?
Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioural therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioural Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.
How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?
The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.
When should I seek treatment for anxiety?
Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.
How effective is treatment for anxiety?
Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
