About Jacqueline

Jacqueline Lawrence is a counsellor with 23 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief and relationship difficulties. She works with adults who are facing depression, low self-esteem, trauma and parenting or career pressures. People turn to her when life changes feel overwhelming or when compassion fatigue and caregiver stress make things harder to cope with.

She uses a pluralistic way of working, which means she draws on several approaches to suit each person.

Background and approach

That can include cognitive behavioural ideas to tackle unhelpful thoughts, attachment-based thinking to look at relationship patterns, and psychodynamic perspectives to understand how past experiences influence today. Sessions are collaborative and conversational. Jacqueline listens to how a person thinks and feels, then helps them identify small practical steps and coping strategies.

She aims for clear, manageable goals rather than long lists of tasks. Her work often focuses on practical problem solving alongside exploring deeper emotional material. For people affected by loss, abuse or long-standing family issues, she offers space to talk those experiences through and to consider ways forward.

For those needing immediate ways to manage anxiety and stress, she uses tools that can be put into practice quickly. Jacqueline is registered with BACP and NCPS. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging for people in the United Kingdom and internationally.

To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then book sessions to suit their schedule.

How Jacqueline combines approaches for online therapy

Jacqueline draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current ways of relating. This approach can help when patterns of trust, abandonment or caregiving affect current relationships and self-worth. She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jacqueline asks about a person's goals, past experiences and what feels manageable, then suggests options to try together. The plan can change as progress is made, so the process stays collaborative and flexible.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into life. Video suits longer conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat and messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter, regular contact. These options make it easier to arrange therapy around work, caring duties and busy schedules.
