About Adrian
Adrian Jackson is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, LGBT concerns, addiction, trauma and issues with self-esteem and intimacy. Adrian also supports those dealing with career pressure, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related challenges.
Adrian offers a straightforward, person-focused way of working. He uses talking, written exercises and reflection to help people spot patterns and manage difficult emotions. Sessions can include looking at past experiences to understand current problems, or trying practical strategies to change responses in day-to-day life.
He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred methods alongside mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas. In practice this means combining thought-focused work with attention to feelings and relational patterns. The mix is chosen to match what someone wants to achieve.
Adrian often supports men who find it hard to express emotions, helping them notice and name feelings and practise new ways of relating. He also brings experience from hospitality and charity work, including mentoring and rehabilitation programmes, which has informed his approach to resilience and change.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to suit the person. The aim is increased self-awareness, more effective coping, and clearer next steps for making changes in daily life.
Therapeutic approaches you can try online
Adrian commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). ACT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values, which can be useful for anxiety, depression and feeling stuck. CBT looks at thinking patterns and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change distressing reactions and improve day-to-day coping.He also uses Client-Centred ideas that focus on listening and reflecting what someone is saying, which supports clearer self-awareness and personal decision making. These approaches are practical and can be combined depending on what someone wants to work on.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Adrian will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels useful, then agree which methods to try. That choice is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
