About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Isles is a BACP counsellor with 18 years of practice in the United Kingdom. She approaches sessions with a calm, respectful manner and centres conversations on what matters most to each person. Sessions are offered in English and are available to people both in the UK and internationally.
Jacqueline draws on client-centred methods to follow the lead of each person. She believes people know their own lives best and aims to create a supportive space to talk through difficult feelings.
Background and approach
Her style is non-directive and collaborative rather than prescriptive. Her background includes focused work around stress, anxiety, depression and grief. Jacqueline also helps people facing relationship strain, parenting challenges and the effects of trauma and abuse.
She offers practical time to untangle issues that affect day-to-day life and relationships. Over nearly two decades she has worked with a wide range of concerns including anger, low self-esteem, bipolar adjustment, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Sessions can be short term for a single issue or longer term for deeper exploration, depending on what a person needs.
Initial contacts use a simple matching process and then meetings are scheduled around availability. Jacqueline uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging as ways to work together, giving different options to suit practical needs.
How these approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following what the person brings to sessions. The therapist offers empathy and reflection to help people find their own solutions and make sense of feelings. This approach is often useful for anxiety, low self-esteem and life changes where being heard matters.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that come from past experiences and how they show up now. In gentle conversation, recurring themes are noticed and understood so people can choose different ways of relating and coping. This can be helpful for trauma, relationship difficulties and deeper emotional issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jacqueline will talk through options and decide together which way of working fits a person's goals and preferences. That collaborative choice can change over time as needs evolve.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls suit longer discussions, phone sessions can be good when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows shorter check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help people fit therapy around work, family or travel commitments.
