Adrian Jackson, BACP

Adrian Jackson is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years' clinical experience. He works with adults on issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, relationship problems and anger. Adrian also supports people facing career strain, addictions, trauma and LGBT-related concerns.

Adrian draws on a mix of approaches to help people recognise patterns and manage emotions. He often uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and develop new responses. He also works with psychodynamic ideas when looking at how early experiences relate to current feelings.

Sessions can include talking things through, written exercises and mindfulness practices to build awareness and resilience. Adrian aims to make therapy collaborative - he listens, reflects, and helps people try practical steps between sessions. He sometimes explores childhood or past events to make sense of present reactions.

Part of his work focuses on supporting men to access and express difficult emotions. He also brings experience from previous roles in hospitality and charity mentoring, including work in rehabilitation programmes. That background informs his interest in change and reintegration.

People who come to Adrian often want clearer communication, better impulse control, or steadier mood management. He helps people set short-term goals and practices they can use in everyday life. To begin, clients follow the site process to match and schedule a first session.
