Alice Jackson , BACP

Alice Jackson is a UK-based psychodynamic therapist who supports people navigating stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma, grief, and a wide range of life changes. She works with issues including intimacy, addictions, family and parenting concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, self-esteem and anger, as well as career and compassion fatigue. Her practice also attends to more specific areas such as abandonment, adoption and foster care experiences, attachment and personality concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image, chronic illness and pain, and diverse expressions of sexuality including BDSM and kink.

Alice places emphasis on exploring the roots of emotional patterns and the experiences that shape them. Using a psychodynamic approach, she helps people make sense of past events and recurring relational dynamics so they can better understand their emotions and behaviour. Her work seeks to create an affirming therapeutic space that recognises and respects differences in background, identity, sexuality, faith, class, and gender.

Alice offers both shorter-term and longer-term therapy depending on the needs and goals presented. She is a BACP-registered practitioner - BACP is a professional association for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom - and provides therapy in English. She is not currently accepting new clients.

Psychodynamic Insights Delivered Online

Alice Jackson practises from a psychodynamic perspective, which focuses on exploring how past experiences and early relationships shape current feelings and behaviour. This approach helps people identify recurring patterns, understand the emotional roots of distress, and work through unresolved issues such as trauma, attachment difficulties, or relationship conflicts.

Therapy is approached collaboratively - Alice will work with each person to figure out which aspects of psychodynamic work, whether shorter-term or deeper exploration, best suit their needs, goals, and preferences. The fit between therapist, approach, and client is treated as an evolving part of the process rather than a fixed decision.

Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access regular support without travel, allow continuity during life changes, and provide several ways to communicate so the therapeutic relationship can develop in the way that feels most helpful to the client.
