Adrian Jackson

Adrian Jackson is a counsellor who offers a welcoming, down-to-earth space to talk through difficult feelings. He works with people facing anxiety, depression, stress and issues around self-esteem and trauma. Adrian aims to help clients feel heard and understood as they take steps towards change.

He takes a practical, collaborative approach. Sessions often involve talking through recent problems and everyday stresses. He also uses written exercises and reflective work to help people notice patterns and try new ways of coping.

Adrian sometimes explores past experiences, including childhood, when these seem linked to current difficulties. He helps clients move from simply managing symptoms to building resilience and clearer self-awareness. He tailors the pace to what each person needs.

He has three years' experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Before training as a counsellor, Adrian worked in hospitality and for charities supporting mentoring and rehabilitation in prisons, which shaped his understanding of change and resilience.

Many people come to him for support with relationship strain, addictions, career stress, or identity concerns including LGBT issues and body image. He also helps those coping with trauma, grief, compulsive behaviours and difficulties around intimacy and trust. If you think this might fit, the next step is to check session options and book a first appointment.

Therapeutic approaches and remote support

Adrian works from a mix of practical approaches that people often find helpful online. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages noticing thoughts and choosing actions that align with values; it can help when thoughts or emotions feel overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and uses structured exercises to try different coping strategies. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping a person explore their own solutions at their own pace.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Adrian will discuss goals and preferences and try ways of working that suit the person. He sees therapy as a collaborative process and reviews methods together as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, save travel time and allow check-ins from different locations. It can also make space for shorter or more frequent meetings if that better suits someone's routine, or for talking without needing to be on camera. If you are curious about remote sessions, check the session options and discuss what will best support your needs.
