About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Leydon is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage anxiety and related difficulties. She speaks directly and calmly, aiming to make it easier to talk about painful or confusing experiences. Jacqueline uses her eight years of practice to support people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about the next step.
She draws on person-centred values while blending other approaches to match each person's needs. In sessions she listens closely, asks clear questions, and helps people notice patterns that keep problems going.
Background and approach
Practical tools and short exercises are used when they fit the person’s goals. Jacqueline has personal experience with ADHD, autism, trauma and loss, and she says that perspective shapes how she understands trust and recovery. That experience informs her empathy but she does not position herself as the expert; she aims to work alongside people so they feel heard and seen.
Her work covers a wide range of concerns including stress, depression, self-esteem, addiction, grief, intimacy issues and difficulties linked to relationships and family life. She also supports people dealing with sleep problems, anger, career stress and big life changes. Jacqueline is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and works with English-speaking clients in the United Kingdom.
Sessions are offered online in several formats to suit different schedules and preferences.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and focus on values-based actions. It can be useful for anxiety, avoidance and coping with change. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build safer ways of connecting and relating to others.Jacqueline works collaboratively to find the best fit for each person. She discusses approach options together and adjusts methods based on the client's goals and preferences. Finding the right way of working is part of the process rather than a fixed promise at the first session.
Online sessions can be arranged by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls let people work face to face from a chosen location, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when a camera feels difficult, and chat or messaging is useful for shorter check-ins or for those who find typing easier. These options make therapy more flexible around work, childcare and daily life while keeping the focus on practical steps and reflection.
