Adrian Jackson

Adrian Jackson is a counsellor with three years of clinical experience who creates a warm, non-judgemental space for people to talk through difficult issues. He works with people facing anxiety, depression, stress and self-esteem problems, and supports those dealing with trauma, addictions and relationship concerns. Adrian also helps with identity questions including LGBT matters and intimacy-related issues. He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

Adrian uses a range of therapeutic ways to help people notice patterns and make changes that fit their life. Sessions are collaborative - he listens first, then helps you decide on next steps. Sometimes he will look at past experiences, including childhood, to understand current reactions. Other times he offers practical written exercises to develop coping skills.

Clients often work on emotion regulation, communication and rebuilding self-worth. Adrian pays attention to issues like abandonment, attachment and codependency when they come up. He also supports people managing career stress, compassion fatigue, anger and impulsivity. The pace is set by each person he sees.

Before training as a counsellor, Adrian worked in hospitality and with charities on mentoring and rehabilitation in prison settings. That background informs his belief that change is possible and that people can grow through challenging circumstances. He aims to offer steady support during periods of transition and recovery.

Sessions are offered in English and Adrian practises in the United Kingdom. If you want to explore next steps you can use the site's Start Therapy button to complete a short questionnaire and arrange a session.

Approaches that guide online work and practical change

Adrian draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being ruled by them, and to clarify what matters most so actions match values. He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and try practical experiments that change feelings and behaviours. Client-Centred Therapy underpins his style too, keeping the relationship empathic and non-judgemental so people feel heard.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Adrian works collaboratively to choose or blend methods that match a person's goals, preferences and current circumstances. He will check in regularly and adapt the plan if something does not feel helpful.

If you are considering online work, please confirm the exact session options before booking because the biography does not list formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people find remote sessions helpful for steady progress between other commitments, and Adrian will work with you to make sessions practical and useful in day-to-day life.
