About Adrian
Adrian Jackson is a counsellor who offers a calm, non-judgemental place to talk. He draws on three years of practice to help people facing anxiety, stress, depression and issues around self-esteem. Adrian works with concerns like trauma, addictions, relationship troubles and identity questions in a straightforward way.
He keeps sessions focused on what matters most to the person in front of him. Sometimes that means looking at past experiences to make sense of current patterns.
How Adrian works
Other times it means practical exercises and techniques to manage strong feelings in the moment. Adrian uses a blend of approaches to suit each person’s needs. He listens first, then chooses methods that help people notice unhelpful thoughts, try out different behaviour and build emotional awareness.
Sessions often include mindfulness practices, written exercises and guided conversation. He has previous experience in hospitality and charity work, including mentoring within rehabilitation programmes. Those roles shaped his belief that people can change and grow when given steady support and clear tools.
Adrian is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He works online with people in the United Kingdom and runs sessions in English.

How Adrian blends therapy approaches for online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and refocus on what matters. It uses simple exercises to clarify values and take small, meaningful actions even when feelings are difficult. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on changing thought and behaviour patterns that keep problems going, and it often includes practical tasks to try between sessions.Adrian sees choosing the right approach as a team effort. He listens to the person’s goals and preferences, then suggests methods to try together. Over a few sessions he reviews what helps and adjusts the plan so it fits the person’s situation and pace.
Online sessions give flexibility for different days and rhythms. Video calls let people keep visual contact and do guided exercises. Phone sessions are useful when a quieter check-in is needed or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection, or ongoing support between longer sessions. Registered or accredited professionals can make these formats work for therapy that fits around work, family and other commitments.
