About Adrian

Adrian Jackson helps people work through stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns using a mix of practical and reflective approaches. He works in an integrative way, drawing on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, psychodynamic ideas and client-centred practice. Adrian is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and has three years' experience.

He uses short exercises and conversational work to help people notice unhelpful patterns and find different ways to respond. Sessions sometimes involve written tasks or practical strategies to manage strong emotions and anxiety. Other times the focus is on talking through past experiences, including childhood, to see how these shape current behaviour.

Adrian often supports people dealing with issues around self-esteem, identity and intimacy. He also works with concerns such as addiction, anger, career stress, and compassion fatigue. He can help with relationship and communication problems, divorce and separation, and difficulties linked to abandonment or attachment issues.

He has experience working with people affected by trauma and abuse, and he offers support for those coping with life changes, isolation or feelings of emptiness. He uses mindfulness techniques alongside cognitive methods to build coping skills and increase emotional awareness.

Adrian previously worked in hospitality and with charities on mentoring and rehabilitation programmes, including work with people in prison. That background informs his practical focus on resilience and change. He offers sessions in English and works from the United Kingdom.

How his approaches translate to online counselling

Adrian uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters to them and take small, value-driven steps. ACT often involves exercises in noticing thoughts and choosing actions that align with personal values, which can help with stress and low mood.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and test new ways of coping. CBT sessions typically include practical techniques and short written tasks that help change patterns of thought and behaviour.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Adrian works collaboratively to decide which methods suit the person's goals and preferences, and he adapts the mix as the work progresses.

Check the session options before booking to confirm how he currently runs online appointments. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also means written exercises or mindfulness practices can be shared and reviewed between sessions to keep progress moving.
