Adrian Jackson, BACP

Adrian Jackson is a counsellor with three years' experience who creates a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk through difficult issues. He offers a warm, listening approach that helps people recognise patterns and begin to make changes at a pace that feels right for them.

He draws on a mix of therapies to suit different needs, including cognitive and person-centred ideas, and he is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Adrian emphasises a collaborative process where the client leads the pace and focus of sessions.

In practice, Adrian helps people understand how past experiences may affect current feelings and behaviour. He uses conversational work alongside written exercises to help process emotions and try new ways of coping. Sessions often involve identifying patterns, practising skills and reviewing what does and does not work for the client.

Adrian has worked in hospitality and with charities on mentoring and rehabilitation programmes before becoming a counsellor. That background informs a practical, down-to-earth style and a belief that people can change when they get steady, non-judgemental support.

Typical areas he addresses include anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, jealousy, addiction-related issues and self-esteem. He also works with trauma, attachment and issues around intimacy and communication, tailoring the approach to each person’s goals.

His aim is to help people build awareness and resilience so they can move towards a more fulfilling life. He invites individuals ready to begin to take the next step through a simple matching and booking process.

How Adrian uses therapy approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unpleasant thoughts without fighting them and focus on values-based action. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and feeling stuck.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It can help with worry, mood and many everyday difficulties.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on giving a non-judgemental, listening space where people can explore feelings at their own pace. This approach aims to increase self-understanding and confidence.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and how they respond to different methods. Together they choose or combine approaches and review what helps over time.

Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing appointments during a lunch break. If you want to use online sessions, confirm the specific session options available before booking so you know what format is possible. The focus is on practical benefits that support attendance and continuity of care rather than promising a particular service.
