About Alice

Alice Jackson trained as a counsellor and has practised for four years in the United Kingdom. She works through emotional pain, stress and overwhelming feelings with people who want clearer thinking and calmer days. Her approach aims to help people understand how past experiences affect current patterns and relationships.

Jackson uses psychodynamic therapy to look beneath surface symptoms and find the root of recurring difficulties. Sessions often focus on early relationships, repeated patterns and the emotions behind behaviours.

Background and approach

This can help with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, addictions and intimacy-related concerns. She pays attention to cultural differences and identity, including race, ethnicity, sexuality, faith, class and gender. That awareness informs how she listens and responds, so therapy fits each person’s situation.

The work can be short term for a specific problem or longer term for deeper exploration. In sessions she creates a calm, accepting space where people can name painful feelings and think about them differently. Conversations aim to build understanding rather than quick fixes.

Over time this often leads to clearer choices and healthier ways of relating to others and to oneself. Alice also supports practical life issues such as sleep, eating, career stress and caregiver strain. She is familiar with a wide range of concerns from body image and attachment issues to chronic illness and compassion fatigue.

Psychodynamic approaches and online therapy

The psychodynamic approach focuses on how early relationships and past experiences influence current feelings and behaviours. It helps people make sense of repeating patterns, emotional reactions and relationship difficulties by talking through memories and present-day feelings.

Sessions can also look at how identity and cultural background shape experience, paying attention to differences in race, ethnicity, sexuality, faith, class and gender. That means the therapist works with the person to understand which themes are most relevant and where to focus the work.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose the best way to proceed based on needs, goals and preferences. This might mean short-term focused work or longer-term exploration, and the plan can change as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation when reading facial cues matters. Phone sessions can suit people who need less bandwidth or prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, emotional processing between sessions or when written reflection feels easier. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
