About Adrian
Adrian Jackson is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems and codependency. Adrian also supports those dealing with addiction, trauma, low self-esteem and issues around intimacy and boundaries.
Adrian describes his work as collaborative. He helps people notice unhelpful patterns and learn practical ways to manage emotions. Sessions can include talking, written exercises and reflection on past experiences to understand how earlier events affect current relationships.
He sometimes looks at childhood and attachment to see how those relationships shape adult behaviour. He draws on a range of approaches to suit different tasks, including cognitive and reflective methods. The focus is on building self-awareness and more reliable ways of coping with stress and strong feelings.
Adrian’s background includes years in hospitality and work with charities on mentoring and rehabilitation programmes in prison settings. That experience feeds into his interest in resilience, change and practical support during difficult transitions.
People who struggle with people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or who feel stuck around someone else’s moods or drinking may find the focus areas familiar. Adrian aims to help clients develop clearer boundaries, better emotional expression and steadier sense of self over time.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Adrian draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and make choices that align with their values. ACT can be useful when someone wants to act differently despite strong feelings. He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to map thinking patterns and try small behavioural experiments that change how problems play out day to day.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Adrian will discuss what feels most useful, try approaches in session and adapt them based on what a client prefers and what helps most. This is a collaborative process and aims to match techniques to the person's goals and circumstances.
The original biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove the need to travel. Registered or accredited professionals can use different methods to help people practise new skills between sessions and keep progress moving forward.
