John Jackson

I am currently available on Fridays, offering daytime and evening appointments.  

I am a person-centred counsellor working in north-east Norfolk and Norwich. I offer face to face, online, and walking sessions. If you want to talk confidentially and safely to someone who is really listening, then counselling can help. I can help with trauma from past experiences, feelings of sadness, low self-worth, worries and fears, relationship concerns, or just unsettling thoughts and feelings that may be difficult to put into words. 

In addition to private practice, I currently work as a Counsellor at The Norwich Centre, and I have previously  worked for Mind, and as a Samaritans volunteer.  

In my practice I seek to provide the warmth, support, and empathy needed for you to explore your thoughts and feelings without judgement. This in turn allows you to process concerns, and to draw on your own resources to work things through at your own pace, and in your own way.

After an initial consultation we would usually meet at an agreed time slot for an hour each week. Some people prefer a short number of sessions over a few weeks, while others prefer longer. We can talk about what you want to get out of therapy at the initial session, and review this as we go along.

I offer four types of session: In person at my counselling practice in North-east Norfolk, or in Norwich, online, and outdoor walking sessions. These can be used flexibly in combination.

I have a life-long interest in nature which I find both inspiring and grounding. My outdoor walking therapy sessions involve walking through quiet parts of the countryside and coast or in urban nature areas. These sessions are similar in content and duration to online and in person sessions, but have some additional considerations around confidentiality, health and safety, and the weather.

I am fully qualified and registered and follow the ethical code of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists.

Difference and diversity are important to me, and I aim to work inclusively, with respect and sensitivity.

I also offer concessionary rates, please contact me for further details. 

I offer an initial 30 minute introductory session at a rate of £20. In this session we can explore your expectations and questions around the counselling process. We can also consider and discuss your concerns and make a plan going forward.
