Background and approach
Her sessions aim to create a calm space where clients can speak freely. Conversations focus on what matters most to the person in front of her. Jackie blends client-centred work with structured tools from cognitive behavioural therapy and dialectical behaviour therapy when useful.
She also uses emotionally-focused methods to address attachment and relationship patterns. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help manage overwhelming feelings and to build steadier routines. Jackie adapts her approach to each person’s goals and pace.
Practical steps are emphasised in sessions. Clients and Jackie set clear priorities and try out new ways of coping between meetings. The intention is to make each session useful and relevant to everyday life.

Approaches you can use online with Jackie
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship. It helps people talk through worries, sort out priorities and feel understood. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, offers short-term practical tools to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. It is often used for anxiety, stress and sleep or eating difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jackie will discuss goals and preferences and try out methods together. The choice of techniques evolves from what helps most in sessions and in everyday life, so clients play an active role in selecting methods.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation when meeting in person is hard. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, tracking progress between sessions and for people who prefer typing over speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and to fit it into a busy life.
