About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Branfield is a psychotherapist, counsellor and hypnotherapist with eight years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She has a background that includes school counselling and consulting as a therapeutic practitioner. Jacqueline describes her work as person-centred and respectful of neurodiversity.
Sessions are tailored to each individual and paced around what feels manageable. She aims to create a calm, steady space where people can talk through feelings, thoughts and experiences without pressure.
Background and approach
Jacqueline focuses on soothing the nervous system and reducing anxiety, overwhelm and overthinking. She also pays attention to how the inner critic and self-censoring hold people back. Her practice draws on several approaches that are blended to suit the person in front of her.
Cognitive behavioural strategies are used to spot and shift thinking patterns. Attachment-based ideas help with relationship patterns and feelings of abandonment or emptiness. Hypnotherapy and mindfulness techniques are sometimes used to support relaxation and to build new coping habits.
Jacqueline adapts interventions for people on the autism spectrum and for those dealing with dissociation, body image or substance issues. She works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and low self-esteem, and addresses related issues like family of origin problems, communication difficulties and commitment worries. Conversations are practical and steady, with an emphasis on small changes that add up.
Jacqueline welcomes international clients and holds the NCPS credential, which appears as NCPS in her profile. Sessions are offered in English and are shaped around each person's needs.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Jacqueline uses client-centred work to help people feel heard and understood. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting and following the persons pace to build trust and clarity. It is useful for people who need space to make sense of emotions and experiences.She also applies cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. CBT helps break down unhelpful thinking patterns and introduces practical steps to manage anxiety and stress. Attachment-based ideas are included too, helping people notice relationship patterns and how early experiences affect their current reactions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jacqueline will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to focus on thought patterns, attachment themes, mindfulness or hypnotherapy techniques and adjust as progress happens.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let the therapist and client work face to face, which helps with rapport. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a working day. Live chat or messaging suits short check-ins, written reflection or people who prefer not to use audio. These options make it easier to maintain continuity and to try different formats as needs change.
