About Jacqueline

How Jacqueline works
Conversations are collaborative and paced to the client’s comfort. In sessions she may focus on how early attachment and past relationships influence present problems. This can help with issues like abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, attachment difficulties, and family of origin problems.
She also addresses blended family issues, divorce and separation, and communication problems that affect everyday life. Jacqueline uses ideas from cognitive behavioural work to help people spot negative thinking and try new behaviours. She combines this with client-centred listening and longer-term psychodynamic thinking when helpful.
Solution-focused tools are brought in to set achievable short-term goals. Her work covers a wide range of specific concerns including codependency, caregiver stress, dissociation, domestic violence, forgiveness and commitment worries. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.
Jacqueline holds BACP and NCPS credentials and practises from the United Kingdom.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online counselling
Jacqueline often blends client-centred and attachment-based ideas to create a warm, understanding space. Client-centred work means the session is shaped around the person’s concerns and pace, with active listening and empathy. Attachment-based approaches look at how early relationships affect current patterns and can help with abandonment, attachment issues and family of origin problems.She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviours. CBT-style tools can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress by breaking problems into manageable steps and practical experiments.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jacqueline will work with each person to decide what fits best, combining methods when that helps reach clear goals. This is a collaborative conversation that considers your needs, aims and preferences rather than a one-size-fits-all method.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video allows for face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a quicker check-in. Text and chat formats suit brief updates, reflection between sessions or people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit counselling around work, family and other commitments.
