About Adrian
Adrian Jackson is a counsellor who offers a calm, supportive space for people facing stress and anxiety. He introduces simple ways to spot unhelpful patterns and to manage strong emotions. Adrian aims to help clients feel heard and more in control of day-to-day life.
He uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. Sometimes sessions focus on current problems and practical tools. Other times they look at earlier life events to understand how they affect the present.
Background and approach
Sessions often include talking things through and short written exercises to practise new skills. The work is collaborative - the client and Adrian decide together what to try next. Progress is paced to suit each person’s needs.
Adrian has three years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Before training as a counsellor, he worked in hospitality and in charity roles supporting mentoring and rehabilitation in prison settings, which shaped his interest in resilience and change.
He commonly helps people dealing with low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, trauma, and issues related to LGBT identity. He also supports those facing career stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD and other life transitions. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online via a range of formats.
Adrian aims to create a non-judgemental space where people can explore feelings, build coping strategies and work towards clearer goals. He tailors methods to each person rather than following a fixed plan.
How Adrian uses therapies online
Adrian often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without struggling with them, and to take actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Adrian will discuss your goals and preferences and experiment with methods together. He adapts techniques to the person, so sessions can focus more on practical skills one week and on exploring past experiences another week. The choice is collaborative and reviewed as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer session or deeper work is needed. Phone sessions suit people with limited bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, quick exercises, or when writing helps you reflect between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and day-to-day commitments.
