About Christian

Counsellor and BACP member Christian Jackson has seven years of UK practice helping people with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and self-esteem. He sees people who are struggling with low motivation, low confidence and problems that affect daily life. Sessions are presented in English and international clients may be taken.

Christian works from a conversational, client-centred stance. He treats the person rather than a label. He listens to what matters to each individual and uses that material to guide the work.

He also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to help people spot unhelpful thinking and change behaviours that keep problems going. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas are used when people want to focus on values and practical steps they can take despite difficult thoughts or feelings.

Attachment-based thinking appears in sessions where relationships and early patterns are relevant. Existential ideas are brought in when clients are asking big questions about meaning, choice or identity. Christian combines these approaches to match what someone needs in the room.

People usually find the sessions practical and focused on what can be done next. Christian asks about current difficulties and what the person hopes for, then negotiates a plan together. To start, people follow the site matching steps and book a first session when they are ready.

Approaches used in online counselling

Christian uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small, practical steps that match their values. ACT can help with persistent worry, low mood and difficulties where avoidance keeps someone stuck.

He also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify patterns of thought and behaviour that maintain problems. CBT sessions focus on experiments, practical strategies and breaking issues into manageable parts. Attachment-based ideas are used when relationship patterns and early experiences affect current reactions, for example in intimacy or trust issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Christian will discuss options and help decide which methods suit the person's goals and preferences. He treats this as a collaborative process and checks in about what is or is not helpful as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, family or travel. They also allow shorter check-ins and let people join from different locations without needing to travel to an office.
