Adrian Jackson, BACP

Adrian Jackson is an integrative therapist who offers a warm, supportive environment for people facing a wide range of challenges. He works with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties, helping them recognise unhelpful patterns and build practical skills for change. Adrian blends talking therapy with targeted exercises, adapting the approach to each person so progress happens at a pace that feels manageable.

Therapy with Adrian is collaborative - he listens attentively and aims to create a nonjudgemental space where clients can explore their experiences and emotions. Sessions may involve exploring how past experiences, including childhood events, influence current behaviour, as well as practical written exercises to process feelings and develop coping strategies. At times the work is focused simply on having space to talk so clients can gain clarity and relief.

Adrian places strong emphasis on the therapeutic relationship as the foundation for change and tailors his methods to individual needs. He has particular experience supporting men to reconnect with and express emotions, recognising how social expectations can make vulnerability difficult. Before training as a therapist he worked in hospitality and in charity roles supporting mentoring and rehabilitation programmes in prisons, experience that informed his understanding of resilience and personal transformation.

He is trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Theory and Person-Centred Therapy, and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom.
