About JacquelineJacqui
Jacqueline "Jacqui" Mancuso is a counsellor with 14 years of experience working in community settings. She holds PACFA and has supported people facing stress, anxiety, grief and relationship challenges. Jacqui aims to create a gentle, flexible space and follows each person's pace.
She listens for the lived meaning behind what is being said. That helps her notice patterns and the feelings beneath them. Sessions can include practical steps, reflective conversation, or creative activities when requested.
Background and approach
Jacqui's approach draws on Existential Therapy and Internal Family Systems. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques and can offer art-based methods when helpful. Methods are chosen together so people only try what feels comfortable.
Her background includes work in women's health, sexual assault and domestic violence support, military-related matters, disability services, chronic health conditions and carer stress. She has worked with students as well as adults managing life transitions and chronic challenges. People come to Jacqui for help with self-esteem, coping with change, compassion fatigue, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, career questions and depression.
She also supports those dealing with family of origin issues, communication problems, chronic pain or illness, and feelings of isolation. Reaching out can feel hard, and Jacqui acknowledges that bravery. She meets people without judgement and helps them take small, manageable steps toward the life they want to build.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that align with their values. It can help with anxiety, stress and getting unstuck when avoidance takes over. Internal Family Systems (IFS) looks at inner parts or voices and how they relate to one another; this approach helps people understand conflicting internal responses and reduce self-criticism. Attachment-Based ideas focus on patterns formed in relationships and how those patterns affect current trust, intimacy and communication challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jacqui will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels tolerable. Together they decide whether ACT, IFS, attachment-focused work or a blend makes the most sense and can adjust the plan as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people read non-verbal cues and use visual aids, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera, and live chat or text messaging work well for short check-ins or when writing helps reflection. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, study or caregiving and to keep continuity when life is busy.
