Alice Jackson, BACP

Alice Jackson is a psychodynamic therapist based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing a wide range of emotional and relational challenges. She works with issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, and parenting difficulties, along with focused areas like attachment, adoption and foster care, body image, chronic illness, and compassion fatigue. Alice emphasizes creating a compassionate, non-judgmental space where difficult feelings can be explored and understood rather than pushed aside.

Alice’s practice centers on looking beneath presenting symptoms to identify patterns, roots, and past experiences that shape current thoughts and behaviours. This exploratory work aims to deepen self-understanding and to uncover the emotional meanings behind recurring difficulties, whether in relationships, self-esteem, or coping with life changes. She offers both short-term and longer-term therapy, tailoring the length and focus of work to each person’s goals and circumstances.

Culturally aware and sensitive to differences in race, ethnicity, sexuality, faith, class, and gender, Alice respects how identity shapes experience and therapy. She recognizes the courage it takes to seek help and invites prospective clients to reach out to begin counselling or psychotherapy. Alice holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Psychodynamic Work Online - Exploring Roots and Relationships

Psychodynamic Therapy focuses on uncovering how past experiences, early relationships, and unconscious patterns influence current feelings and behaviour. Through thoughtful conversation, clients explore recurring themes, emotional responses, and relationship patterns to gain insight and greater self-understanding. This approach can be helpful for issues such as trauma, complicated relationships, and persistent mood or self-esteem concerns.

Alice offers both shorter-term and longer-term psychodynamic work, adapting the pace and focus to each person’s needs. She approaches therapy collaboratively, working with clients to identify goals and to decide whether a more focused short-term plan or a deeper exploratory process is the best fit. Determining the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together and evolves as understanding grows.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it possible to access consistent support without travel. These options offer flexibility for different schedules and communication preferences, allowing clients to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue work through life transitions. Licensed professionals and therapists can tailor session format to what helps each person engage most effectively.
