About Adrian
Adrian Jackson is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of practice. He works with people facing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship and intimacy issues, addiction, trauma and low self-esteem. He also focuses on concerns such as ADHD, compassion fatigue and career-related strain.
Adrian uses a mix of approaches to help people notice patterns that cause distress. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), client-centred methods, mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas. Sessions can include talking, written exercises and practical strategies to manage strong emotions.
He often looks at past experiences when they help explain current reactions. At other times he uses short, structured tasks to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. The emphasis is on collaboration - working together to try things that might reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.
Adrian has previous experience in hospitality and in charity settings offering mentoring and rehabilitation support in prisons. That background informs a practical approach to resilience and change. He encourages emotional awareness and clearer communication, with particular interest in helping men explore and express feelings.
Sessions are offered in English from the United Kingdom. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How Adrian uses structured approaches online
Adrian commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in his work. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical tasks to reduce anxiety or low mood. ACT helps people notice values and take small committed steps even when difficult feelings are present. He also draws on client-centred ideas to keep sessions person-focused and on mindfulness techniques to build present-moment awareness.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss different options with the client and decide together which methods suit the person’s goals and preferences. That collaborative process may shift over time as needs change.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins on a break, or remove the need to travel. These practical benefits can help people keep consistent appointments and apply strategies between sessions. Registered or accredited professionals often combine structured CBT exercises and ACT tasks into online sessions to maintain momentum and measure progress.
