Alice Jackson , BACP

Alice Jackson is a psychodynamic psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom who works with people facing a wide variety of emotional and relational challenges. She supports individuals navigating stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy difficulties, addictions, and issues around self-esteem and boundaries. Her practice also attends to family dynamics, parenting concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, career worries, compassion fatigue and other life transitions.

Alice places emphasis on exploring the root causes of distress and on understanding the patterns and feelings that underlie present difficulties. She creates an affirming, culturally aware space that recognises difference in race, ethnicity, sexuality, faith, class and gender, and she seeks to work collaboratively so clients can process painful experiences and develop greater self-compassion. Through examining past experiences and emotional responses, clients can gain insight into recurring behaviours and begin to make meaningful change.

Alice offers both short-term and longer-term therapy depending on the needs presented, and she brings particular interest to areas such as abandonment, attachment issues, adoption and foster care, autism and Asperger syndrome, and other complex co-morbid concerns. She holds BACP, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional membership for counsellors and psychotherapists, and provides therapy in English.

Psychodynamic Approaches and Online Therapy with Alice Jackson

Psychodynamic therapy focuses on understanding how past experiences and unconscious patterns shape present feelings and behaviours. It helps people explore recurring relationships, attachment patterns, and emotional responses so they can identify the roots of issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma responses and relationship difficulties. Alice guides clients to reflect on underlying motivations and emotions to build insight and emotional resilience.

Within therapy the process of finding the right approach is collaborative. Alice works with clients to clarify their goals, preferences and practical needs, and adapts the pace and focus of sessions accordingly so the therapeutic method fits the person rather than the other way around. Licensed professionals and therapists often blend exploration of past experiences with attention to current coping strategies to support meaningful change.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call or phone allow live conversation, while live chat and text-based messaging provide alternative ways to express thoughts between scheduled meetings. These options make it easier to access regular support around work, family and daily commitments, and they can help maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult.
