About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Tow is an ACA counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges and low self-esteem. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can take. Her manner is calm and respectful, and she aims to create a place to pause and reflect.
Jacqueline has six years of clinical experience working with people from many cultural backgrounds. She has lived overseas and understands migration and multicultural issues firsthand.
Background and approach
Her work has also included supporting carers and people with neurodiversity, including autism and intellectual disability. In sessions she blends attachment-focused ideas with narrative and cognitive approaches. That means she pays attention to how early relationships shape current feelings, listens to each person’s story, and helps reframe unhelpful thinking.
Conversations are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. She uses motivational interviewing when people feel stuck and wants to build skills people can use between meetings. Jacqueline also draws on family systems understanding to help with communication problems and family of origin concerns when relevant.
Jacqueline offers video, phone, live chat and text-based messaging sessions, so people can choose what fits their life. She works in Australia and runs therapy through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.
Jacqueline aims to help clients recognise patterns, find practical coping tools and gain more confidence in handling life changes.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape feelings and behaviour. Online sessions can use this approach to notice relationship patterns and practise new ways of relating through conversation and reflection. Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the centre and relies on empathetic listening and acceptance; it helps people feel heard and to build self-understanding during video or phone sessions. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical tools to manage anxiety and stress; it transfers well to online formats with homework and short skill-building exercises. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jacqueline will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then try approaches that feel like a good fit. Decisions about focus and techniques are made together, and the plan can be adjusted as progress is tracked. Online therapy offers flexibility for people juggling work, family and other commitments. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from wherever a person is able to join; phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers no camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, quick skill practice, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit regular sessions into a busy life and to continue work between meetings.Questions people ask
