Background and approach

She is a counselling member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and follows its ethical framework. Sessions can be short term or longer term depending on what a person wants to work on. Her way of working is integrative.

That means she chooses methods that fit the person she is meeting. Conversations focus on present struggles and the influence of past experiences, with practical ideas offered alongside empathic listening. Jacqueline draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based work within a person-centred stance.

She aims to help people spot patterns, try small changes and develop more helpful ways to cope with anxiety, anger and relationship difficulties. She also has experience supporting those facing parenting pressures, career stress, compassion fatigue and issues linked to adoption, attachment and family of origin.

Sessions are offered in English and are arranged around people’s lives to make therapy easier to attend. Jacqueline asks new clients to share a little about themselves when they start, so she can recommend a way forward and plan sessions that match their goals.

How Jacqueline blends therapeutic approaches online

Jacqueline uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help people spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another approach she uses to help people clarify values, accept difficult emotions and take small actions that matter to them. Attachment-Based Therapy informs how she looks at relationships and recurring connection problems, helping people understand past patterns and try different ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jacqueline will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process and plans are reviewed as therapy progresses to make sure the approach still fits.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging so people can choose what suits their routine. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be brief for check-ins and messaging is useful for short updates between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping focus on practical steps and emotional understanding.
