Background and approach

Sessions aim to highlight strengths and set small, achievable steps forward. She has supported people in many areas, including depression, grief, self-esteem, addictions and coping with life changes. Jacqueline also helps with parenting strains, career worries, compassion fatigue and issues linked to adoption, care and ageing.

Her work often focuses on improving communication, coping with loss, and reducing unhelpful patterns of behaviour. Jacqueline has worked internationally and offers sessions in English to people in the United Kingdom and beyond. She uses a mixture of conversation, motivational interviewing techniques and practical exercises to build momentum and track progress.

Most clients find it useful to start with weekly meetings for a month, then review how things are going. Her practice runs mainly Monday to Thursday with earlier finishes on Friday. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging and are arranged via an online schedule.

Jacqueline encourages a collaborative process where the client’s priorities guide the work together.

How Jacqueline’s approaches translate to online therapy

Jacqueline uses client-centred work to put the person’s priorities first, listening closely and adapting sessions to what matters right now. This approach is useful for people who want a gentle, paced process that focuses on their own goals and strengths.

She also uses attachment-based ideas to help people notice relationship patterns and how these affect emotion and behaviour. This can be helpful when someone wants to understand why they react strongly in close relationships or struggle with trust and boundaries.

Mindfulness techniques are used to slow down racing thoughts and reduce overwhelm. Simple breathing and attention exercises are introduced in sessions and practiced between meetings to build resilience to stress and anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jacqueline will discuss options and try different ways of working based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences. She encourages a collaborative decision so the plan feels manageable and relevant.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into daily life. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, chat suits shorter check-ins and messaging lets people keep a reflective thread between sessions. These options give flexibility for different routines and needs while keeping the therapeutic focus central.
