Alice Jackson, BACP

Alice Jackson is a counsellor who offers psychotherapy to people dealing with emotional strain and difficult life changes. She works from a psychodynamic perspective and brings four years of clinical experience to her practice. Alice is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and she works with adults in the United Kingdom.

Alice focuses on understanding the patterns that underlie current problems. Sessions look at how earlier experiences shape feelings and reactions now. This can help with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and trauma. She also supports people facing relationship or intimacy challenges and those wrestling with self-esteem, anger or addictive behaviours.

She pays attention to background and identity. Cultural differences such as race, sexuality, faith or class are discussed respectfully as they relate to someone’s story. That awareness helps make therapy more relevant and realistic for each person.

Alice offers both shorter-term and longer-term work depending on the needs presented. In practice, that might mean focusing on a single issue or taking time for deeper exploration. Sessions are collaborative and paced to what the person feels able to manage.

Her style is accepting and non-judgemental. The aim is to notice difficult feelings, understand where they come from and gradually change the patterns that cause distress. People who want to understand themselves better and find practical ways to cope often find this helpful.

Psychodynamic work online and practical session options

Psychodynamic therapy explores how past experiences shape present feelings and repeated patterns. It pays attention to emotions, relationships and unconscious influences so someone can understand why they react a certain way and gradually change those patterns. This approach can help with issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and difficulties in relationships.

Alice will collaborate with each person to decide if psychodynamic work fits their goals and preferences. Finding the right approach is part of the process and she will review progress together, adjusting the focus or length of work as needs change. The decision on short-term or longer-term therapy is made with the person, not imposed.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible and accessible. Video calls work well when visual contact helps the conversation. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or messaging can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options help people fit therapy around life, work and caring responsibilities.
