Therapeutic approaches and online support
Jacqueline draws on client-centred work to build a trusting relationship where the person’s perspective guides the sessions. This approach focuses on listening, understanding and helping people discover their own solutions, which is useful for low mood, confidence and relationship worries.She also integrates mindfulness techniques to help with stress and anxiety by teaching simple attention and breathing practices that reduce overwhelm. Trauma-focused ideas are used when past events are getting in the way of daily life, offering ways to process difficult memories and reduce their hold on current behaviour.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jacqueline will explore your goals, preferences and needs and collaborate with you to decide which methods fit best. This is an ongoing conversation and the plan can change as you make progress.
Online sessions come in several flexible formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. Video is good for deeper conversation and visual connection, phone works well if bandwidth is limited, live chat suits short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel.
