About Adrian
Adrian Jackson is a counsellor who creates a warm, practical space for people to talk about what’s hard. He offers a calm presence and works collaboratively to help clients make sense of anxiety, low mood, trauma and struggles with self-esteem. Adrian uses straightforward tools alongside open conversation to help people move forward.
He explains how therapy can vary depending on the person’s needs. Some sessions focus on current problems and practical coping strategies.
Background and approach
Other times they look at past experiences, including childhood, to understand recurring patterns that still affect life now. Adrian often uses written exercises and simple practices to help process emotions and build new habits. He also gives space for people to speak freely without judgement, which can bring clarity and relief.
The aim is to help clients become more aware, more resilient and more able to make choices that fit their values. He has three years' experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Before training as a counsellor, Adrian worked in hospitality and for charities supporting mentoring and rehabilitation programmes, including work in prison settings.
Those roles shaped his interest in resilience and change. Adrian also offers support around relationship issues, intimacy, addictions and identity concerns, including LGBT matters. He tailors his approach to each person and pays particular attention to helping men explore and express emotions in healthier ways.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Adrian commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in his work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small actions that match those values, which can help with anxiety, low mood and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them, useful for stress, panic and unhelpful habits.Finding the right approach often happens together. Adrian treats therapy as a collaborative process and will help you decide which methods fit your goals and preferences. He adapts techniques over time so the work matches how you want to change and what feels useful in practice.
If you are considering remote sessions, please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use written exercises or guided mindfulness between meetings to keep progress moving forward.
