Alice Jackson, BACP

Alice Jackson is a psychodynamic therapist who supports people navigating stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma, grief, and other life challenges. She creates a space where overwhelming feelings can be explored with empathy and curiosity, helping individuals develop greater self-compassion and understanding for the parts of themselves that feel wounded. Her work often focuses on uncovering root causes, exploring how past experiences shape current patterns, and developing clearer boundaries, self-esteem, and emotional resilience.

Alice welcomes people seeking help with depression, addiction, intimacy-related concerns, parenting and family issues, sleep and eating difficulties, career challenges, and compassion fatigue, among other areas. She attends to difference with cultural awareness and sensitivity, acknowledging how race, ethnicity, sexuality, faith, class, and gender can influence the therapeutic work.

Alice offers both short-term and long-term therapy depending on the needs and goals presented. The therapeutic relationship she cultivates is accepting and non-judgmental, intended to support exploration and meaningful change. She is registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). Those interested in beginning psychotherapy with Alice are invited to reach out to discuss next steps and availability.

Psychodynamic approaches and online therapy

Psychodynamic therapy explores the connections between past experiences and current feelings and behaviours. It invites gentle curiosity about patterns that repeat in relationships and emotional responses, helping clients understand why certain reactions arise and how they relate to earlier events. This approach can be helpful for people working through trauma, relationship issues, grief, or persistent anxiety and low self-esteem.

Alice also offers flexibility in the length of work, from focused short-term interventions to more open-ended long-term exploration. Shorter work can address a specific problem or transition, while longer-term therapy supports deeper self-understanding and change. Decisions about focus and duration are made collaboratively between the client and therapist based on needs, goals, and preferences.

Online therapy with a registered professional can make this work more accessible. Video calls allow face-to-face connection, phone sessions suit those who prefer voice contact, and live chat or text-based messaging offer alternatives for people with busy schedules or mobility constraints. These options provide flexibility in scheduling and format while supporting consistent progress toward therapeutic goals.
