About Mike
Mike Jackson is a counsellor with eight years of experience helping adults and young people. He works in a person-centred way and aims to create a calm space where people can talk about difficult things without judgement. Mike holds NCPS accreditation and has training in mindfulness and grief work.
Mike combines client-centred listening with practical methods from cognitive behavioural therapy and solution-focused work. He uses mindfulness techniques to help with anxiety and physical stress.
Background and approach
Sessions are shaped around what each person needs and what they want to change. He has supported people through bereavement, serious illness, addiction and trauma. He also helps with self-esteem, depression, anger, parenting strain and major life changes.
Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, autism and blended family issues. His background includes charity and hospice settings as well as independent practice. That work involved counselling for bereaved relatives, supporting people after traumatic deaths, and helping carers manage stress.
These roles inform how he listens and responds now. Mike offers sessions in person in Somerset and online by video, phone, chat or messaging. He also provides supervision for qualified and trainee counsellors using his Diploma in Supervision.
If someone prefers a practical, listening-led approach, he tailors the work to their goals.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. It uses simple practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage mood and change unhelpful habits.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches straightforward exercises to calm the body and mind. These practices can reduce stress reactions and help with physical symptoms linked to anxiety.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and try methods together to see what fits best, adjusting the plan as progress is made. This is a collaborative process where the person's priorities guide the direction of sessions.
Online sessions offer flexibility for different lifestyles. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more connection is useful. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into short breaks. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, written reflection or people who prefer not to use voice or video. These options make it easier to keep continuity and fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities or travel.
