About JacquelineJacqui
Jacqueline "Jacqui" Mancuso is a PACFA counsellor with 14 years' experience working across community settings in Australia. She offers calm, patient support when life feels overwhelming. Jacqui aims to understand what matters to each person and to help them take manageable steps forward.
Her approach is gentle and flexible. She waits for cues about what a person is ready to explore and adapts her pace accordingly. Sessions might include talking things through, noticing patterns that get in the way, and trying small practical changes to ease stress or improve relationships.
How JacquelineJacqui works
Jacqui draws on Existential Therapy and Internal Family Systems to listen for the deeper meaning in someone's experience. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas are used when people want tools to manage difficult feelings and stay connected to their values. Creative interventions are available when a person asks for them.
She has worked with people facing stress, anxiety and depression, grief and trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, caregiver strain, chronic illness or pain, and questions about life purpose. Jacqui also supports those coping with family of origin issues, domestic violence, and issues linked to veteran and armed forces backgrounds. Her style is steady and attentive.
She aims to be a clear witness who helps people recognise patterns, build self-compassion, and make choices that reflect what they want from life. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions to suit their needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Jacqui blends approaches so each session fits the person she is working with. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while taking action that matches personal values; it can help with anxiety, depression and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current ways of trusting and relating, which can help with intimacy and communication problems. Internal Family Systems (IFS) helps people identify and relate to different parts of themselves, reducing internal conflict and easing self-criticism.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Jacqui will talk with a client about their goals, values and preferences, then suggest ways of proceeding. That process is collaborative and can change as the person's needs evolve.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexible options. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions suit those who prefer not to be on camera, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments and mobility needs.
