About Adrian
Adrian Jackson is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years’ experience. He works with adults on problems such as anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem and relationship concerns. Adrian also supports people dealing with addictions, trauma, intimacy-related issues and parenting-related strains.
He uses a mix of approaches to help people recognise unhelpful patterns and manage strong emotions. Sessions are collaborative and conversational. Adrian sometimes talks through past experiences, including childhood, to see how these affect present relationships and feelings.
Practical tools are a common part of his work. He may suggest written exercises and coping strategies to try between meetings. These are aimed at building steadier day-to-day routines and developing emotional awareness.
Adrian has experience working in hospitality and for charities on mentoring and rehabilitation programmes. That background informs his interest in resilience and change, and his focus on supporting people through life transitions such as separation or career shifts.
He helps adults who are struggling with issues like abandonment, attachment, body image, jealousy and communication problems. He also works with people dealing with ADHD, compassion fatigue, anger and grief-related topics. Sessions are offered in English and he does not accept international clients.
How sessions work
How Adrian’s approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It helps with anxiety, depression and problems where avoidance keeps life small. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful cycles. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood and managing impulsive reactions. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Adrian will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That means trying different techniques and adjusting them as progress is made. The practical benefits of online sessions depend on the formats Adrian currently offers. The original biography did not list session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around school runs, work breaks or childcare. It can also allow quieter check-ins that do not require travel and make it simpler to use written exercises between meetings. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt material so it works in a remote setting, and Adrian draws on mindfulness, CBT and ACT to structure short exercises or reflective tasks people can try between sessions.Areas of focus
