About Mike

Mike Jackson is a counsellor who uses a person-centred, integrative approach to help people talking through life’s hard moments. He holds an NCPS credential and has eight years of experience supporting adults and young people. Mike aims to create a calm space where someone can speak openly and feel heard without judgement.

He blends client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness practices. That mix lets him focus on practical skills as well as on understanding what matters most to the person.

Mike has worked across mental health services, charities and independent practice in the United Kingdom. His background includes emotional support roles at Mind in Somerset, Marie Curie’s support service, and St Margaret’s Hospice.

He has experience helping people facing bereavement and traumatic loss, including attendance at Coroners’ Court inquests.

How Mike’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor makes space for people to speak and helps them find their own solutions, which can be useful for grief, low mood and stress. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety and depression.

Choosing the right approach is part of working together. Mike will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt techniques as the relationship develops. The process is collaborative and adjusted to suit the person’s needs.

Online work can use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video works well for a fuller conversation and visual connection, while phone calls use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions or people who prefer writing. These options make counselling more flexible and easier to fit around daily life.
