Experienced integrative counsellor with a practical focus
About Jacqueline
Jacqueline John welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, loss or changes in their life. She explains things simply and aims to make first steps less daunting. Jacqueline is a BACP member with 36 years of experience in counselling and psychotherapy.
She works remotely from the United Kingdom and sees people internationally. Jacqueline uses an integrative approach that fits each person's needs. She draws on methods like cognitive behavioural work, attachment ideas and acceptance-based practices while keeping conversations rooted in the person's present concerns.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical ways to cope and on understanding how past experiences shape current feelings. Her work often covers relationships, family and parenting strains, grief and bereavement, addiction and recovery, and difficulties with self-esteem and intimacy. Jacqueline also supports people dealing with trauma, anger, career changes and compassion fatigue.
She is comfortable talking about adoption and foster care, attachment matters, blended family issues and problems that stem from family of origin. Jacqueline offers both short-term and longer-term arrangements, discussed in the first meeting alongside a client's hopes for counselling. She runs a independent practice and has provided services for organisations and charities, bringing a range of real-world experience to sessions.
Sessions are held remotely under UK law guidelines, and she aims to reply to enquiries within 24 hours on weekdays. Availability does not include Saturdays, Sundays or bank holidays.

How Jacqueline’s approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take steps that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships shape current patterns and aims to build safer ways of relating and connecting. This approach can be helpful when relationship or family concerns feel repetitive and painful.Finding the right approach is part of the work and is decided together. Jacqueline will listen to a person's goals and preferences, suggest methods that might help, and adapt the plan as therapy progresses. The process is collaborative so techniques are matched to what the person finds most helpful.
Online therapy with Jacqueline uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make counselling flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work when lighter bandwidth is needed, and messaging or chat can suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping the focus on practical change.
