Mike Jackson uses a client-centred, practical counselling style to help people through difficult times. He aims to create a straightforward, calm space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem or life changes. Mike’s approach is plain and focused on what matters to each person.

He has eight years of experience working in mental health services, charities and independent practice across the United Kingdom. His background includes supporting people affected by bereavement, traumatic loss and chronic illness.

Background and approach

He also offers supervision to trainee and qualified counsellors, drawing on a Diploma in Supervision. Mike blends client-centred work with cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness. He uses solution-focused techniques when people want practical steps and quicker changes.

Sessions aim to be collaborative, with simple tools and short exercises used when helpful. He has a Level 5 Diploma in Counselling and is associated with NCPS. He also holds a diploma in mindfulness and additional training in grief therapy, trauma work, suicide prevention and working with self-injury.

These experiences shape how he supports people facing complex or distressing situations. Online and telephone sessions are available for those who prefer remote options. He offers chat and messaging as well as video and phone calls to fit different needs and schedules.

Mike encourages people to start with what feels manageable and adjust the approach as work progresses.

How Mike’s approaches work online

Mike blends client-centred work with cognitive behavioural ideas to focus on what matters to each person. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises being listened to and accepted while you talk things through, which can help with anxiety, depression and relationship or family concerns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, useful for anxiety, low mood and stress. Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. He will discuss goals and preferences, then try methods that match the person’s needs. That process is collaborative and can change over time as progress is reviewed. Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from wherever you are. Phone sessions can be lower bandwidth and easier to fit into a short break. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer shorter check-ins or who find typing easier than talking. These formats make it simpler to get support without travelling and to fit therapy around work, caring duties or other commitments.
