Adrian Jackson, BACP

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It supports values-led action, which can help when someone feels stuck or overwhelmed by depression or anxiety.

Client-Centred Therapy concentrates on providing a non-judgemental space where the person leads the conversation. This approach helps people increase self-understanding and feel more able to express emotions, useful for self-esteem and relationship concerns.

The right approach is often found together. Adrian will talk with each client about goals and preferences, then combine methods that match those needs. This is a collaborative process and can change as progress is made.

Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual connection helps. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter, timely reflections and for people who prefer to write rather than speak.

These options give flexibility about how and when to engage in therapy while keeping the focus on practical change and emotional understanding. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists use these methods to support people working through a wide range of concerns.
