About Mike
Mike Jackson is a counsellor with eight years of experience working with adults and young people. He offers a calm, person-centred style that helps people talk through stress, anxiety, depression and life changes. Mike works in the United Kingdom and sees clients online as well as in person.
He uses a blend of client-centred listening with practical tools from cognitive behavioural approaches. That means sessions often begin by understanding what matters most to the person and then trying small, doable steps to shift thoughts and routines.
Background and approach
Mindfulness practices and solution-focused techniques are also available when they suit someone’s needs. Mike has supported people in charities, hospices and mental health services. His background includes work with bereavement services, carers and organisations that respond to traumatic deaths and inquests.
That variety shaped a flexible way of working that adapts to different concerns and situations. His training includes a Level 5 Diploma in Counselling and a diploma in Mindfulness, and he also holds supervisory qualifications. He brings experience of counselling in both charity settings and independent practice, and he supervises qualified and trainee counsellors.
In sessions Mike aims to create a non-judgemental space where people can be heard and decide what change they want. Practical strategies, short-term goals and reflective listening are combined so clients leave with clearer next steps and coping tools.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss options with each person and tailor sessions around their goals and preferences. That collaborative planning means approaches can be adjusted as progress is made or priorities change.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls are useful when visual contact helps the conversation. Phone sessions work well when a lower bandwidth option is needed or for brief check-ins. Live chat and text messaging can suit people who prefer shorter, written exchanges or who want flexible, ongoing check-ins between sessions.
