Adrian Jackson, BACP

Adrian Jackson is an integrative therapist who offers a warm and supportive space for people working through a range of emotional and relational challenges. He supports clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, and low self-esteem, helping them recognise unhelpful patterns, manage difficult emotions, and take practical steps toward change.

Therapy with Adrian is collaborative - he listens and works alongside each person rather than prescribing fixed solutions. Sessions may include exploring past experiences, including childhood, to understand their present-day impact; using written exercises to process emotions and build coping strategies; or simply holding space to talk things through and gain clarity. The pace and focus are guided by the client’s needs and goals.

Adrian places particular emphasis on helping men reconnect with and express their emotions, noting that some men grow up in environments where vulnerability is discouraged. He supports clients in building emotional awareness, improving relationships, and strengthening self-esteem in ways that feel authentic and empowering.

Before training as a therapist, Adrian worked for many years in hospitality and later with charities delivering mentoring and rehabilitation programmes that supported people in prison through personal development and reintegration. Those roles informed his understanding of resilience and transformation and reinforced his belief in the potential for meaningful change with the right support.

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