About Adrian
Adrian Jackson is a counsellor who creates a warm, non-judgemental space to help people work through stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. He introduces practical tools and listens closely so each person feels heard. Adrian aims to help people notice unhelpful patterns and take small steps towards change.
He works collaboratively, matching the approach to what each person needs. Some sessions focus on current problems and coping strategies. Other times they look back at past experiences, including childhood, to understand how those events affect feelings today.
Adrian uses written exercises and reflective conversation to help people process emotions. He supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, addiction, relationship challenges and intimacy-related issues. He also helps with career stress, compassion fatigue and the particular pressures some LGBT people face.
Before counselling he worked in hospitality and in charities running mentoring and rehabilitation programmes in prisons. That background shaped his practical approach and belief that people can change when supported to do so. He draws on that experience when helping people rebuild confidence and resilience.
Adrian holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He has three years of professional experience and offers work in English to people in the United Kingdom. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire.
How Adrian uses therapy approaches online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgement. It helps people feel safe to talk, build self-awareness and find their own solutions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, looks at values and small actions that matter to you and offers ways to accept difficult thoughts while moving towards a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, helps identify links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Adrian will explore your goals and preferences and together you will decide what feels most useful. That collaborative decision can change over time as needs and priorities shift.
Confirm the exact online session formats when booking, as the profile does not specify them. Many people find online work fits around daily life because it can reduce travel and make shorter check-ins easier to schedule. It can also allow sessions when leaving the workplace for a break, or when video is difficult and a phone-style conversation is preferred. Therapists and registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, written tasks and reflective work so sessions remain practical and focused even when not in person.
