Adrian Jackson is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of front-line experience. He creates a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through anxiety, depression, stress and relationship worries. Adrian aims to help clients feel heard and understood so they can take practical steps forward.

His style is collaborative and straightforward. Sessions often involve noticing patterns, learning coping strategies and practising new ways of responding. Sometimes this means talking about past experiences, sometimes completing short written exercises, and sometimes simply making space to name difficult feelings.

Background and approach

Adrian draws on a mix of approaches to suit each person. He uses ideas from cognitive behavioural work and mindfulness to help manage unhelpful thoughts and feelings. He also explores relational patterns using psychodynamic ideas and places the client at the centre with a client-centred stance.

He has background experience in hospitality and charity roles, including mentoring and rehabilitation programmes in prison settings. That work shaped his interest in resilience and change and informs how he supports people facing big life shifts. Adrian regularly supports people struggling with self‑esteem, addiction, trauma, intimacy and communication problems.

He also helps those coping with career stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related challenges and complex feelings like guilt and shame. His approach is paced to the person and focused on practical progress. If someone is ready to explore, Adrian offers a calm, steady presence and practical tools to help build clearer choices and greater emotional awareness.

How Adrian’s approaches work online

Adrian uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings while focusing on values-based actions that create a more meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical techniques to reduce anxious or low moods.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Adrian will work together with each person to decide which ideas and techniques fit best. That collaborative planning includes trying things out and adjusting the focus as needs and goals become clearer.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy practical and flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual connection helps. Phone sessions can be useful when internet or bandwidth is limited, and live chat or messaging suits shorter check-ins or times when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
