Adrian Jackson
Accessible counsellor focused on practical change
About Adrian
Adrian Jackson is a counsellor with three years' experience who offers a calm, non-judgemental space to talk through difficult feelings. He focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, low self-esteem and depression. Adrian also supports clients dealing with relationship strains, addiction concerns and trauma-related distress.
He takes a straightforward, collaborative approach. Sessions often begin by identifying current patterns and immediate goals. He adapts methods to each person, using talking, practical exercises and written tasks to help build coping skills and clarity.
Background and approach
Adrian sometimes looks at how earlier life experiences affect present behaviour and emotions. Other times he focuses on practical steps for changing unhelpful thoughts and habits. He aims to help people notice small shifts that add up to lasting change.
His background includes work in hospitality and roles with charities supporting mentoring and rehabilitation in prison settings. That experience shaped his belief in resilience and the possibility of change, and it informs a patient, hopeful style in sessions. Adrian is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
He works with adults on topics such as family problems, intimacy issues, anger, career concerns, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related challenges. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.

Sessions & fees
How Adrian’s approaches translate to online therapy
Adrian commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult feelings without getting stuck and then take steps that match their values; it can be helpful for anxiety, depression and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which can suit stress, low mood and compulsive behaviours.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Adrian works collaboratively to discover which methods fit each person’s needs and goals. He will discuss options and adapt techniques as sessions progress so the plan stays relevant to the client's priorities.
Online sessions are delivered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer typing or who need more frequent, brief contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or other commitments.
