Jacqueline "Jacky" Ellis
Practical counselling for stress and addiction
About Jacqueline
Jacqueline "Jacky" Ellis is a degree-educated counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has three years of clinical experience and also volunteers at an addiction centre. Jacky works with people who are coping with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief and low self-esteem.
Jacky uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns. She also uses client-centred methods to create a warm, accepting space.
Background and approach
Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Her background includes work around adoption, abandonment and attachment issues. She helps people process dissociation, trauma bonding and the fallout of divorce or separation.
Jacky also supports those facing chronic illness, body image concerns and addiction-related problems. Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical. She listens with empathy and asks questions that help people name what matters to them.
Together the person and Jacky plan small steps to reduce distress and improve day-to-day coping. Jacky offers consultations through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Sessions are delivered in English and are arranged using a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Jacky’s approaches work online
Jacky commonly uses attachment-based ideas to explore how early relationships affect current patterns. This approach helps people understand connection, trust and repeating cycles in relationships. She also draws on client-centred methods which focus on offering empathy and acceptance so people can find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours that maintain anxiety and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jacky will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then suggest ways of working together. Decisions about methods are made jointly and can be adjusted as therapy progresses to fit what helps most.
Online therapy offers practical options for fitting counselling into a busy life. Video calls give face-to-face contact when that helps, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed, and live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter updates or when typing feels easier. These formats make sessions more flexible and accessible for people with different schedules and circumstances.
