About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Tow helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, low self-esteem and major life changes. She works with individuals who need practical support and a calm space to talk things through. Jacqueline is an ACA counsellor with six years' experience in clinical settings and community work.
Jacqueline keeps sessions straightforward and respectful. She listens first and then helps people make sense of patterns in their relationships and daily life.
How Jacqueline works
Conversations often look at attachment and how early relationships shape current behaviour and feelings. Her style mixes client-centred listening with practical tools from cognitive behavioural approaches and narrative work. She helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test small changes, while also looking at the stories they tell about themselves.
Motivational interviewing is used when people want help building momentum for change. Jacqueline has experience supporting people from diverse cultural backgrounds and those who have moved to Australia. She has worked with people with autism and intellectual disability and with carers under stress.
That background informs a flexible, non-judgemental approach. Sessions can be a short series of focused meetings or a longer unfolding conversation, depending on what someone needs. Jacqueline aims to create a steady, attuned space where people can pause, reflect and try new ways of coping.

Approaches and online therapy options
Attachment-based work focuses on relationships and how early bonds influence current emotional responses; it helps when people struggle with trust, closeness or strong reactions in relationships. Client-centred therapy is built around empathic listening and meeting people where they are; it helps people feel heard while they find their own direction. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical tools to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns and build coping skills.Choosing the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. Jacqueline will ask about your goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt methods over time so the work fits your needs. That collaborative fit helps keep sessions focused and meaningful.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let you use body language and eye contact, while phone sessions suit shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging can be helpful for steady support between sessions or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments, and to choose the format that best suits how you want to engage.
