Background and approach
Jacqueline also supports people facing grief, addiction, career change, parenting strain and compassion fatigue. She pays attention to relationship difficulties and LGBT issues, and helps people cope with major life transitions. Jacqueline combines attachment-based ideas with client-centred listening and mindfulness practices.
She uses motivational interviewing and trauma-focused techniques when they suit a person's needs. Sessions are shaped around practical goals so progress can be seen and reviewed together. Her style is supportive and collaborative.
Early sessions focus on what matters most to the client and on small steps that fit day-to-day life. Jacqueline encourages regular short-term reviews so plans can be adjusted as progress is made. Sessions can take different forms including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.
Jacqueline accepts clients from the United Kingdom and internationally and aims to make therapy accessible and manageable for people balancing busy lives.

How these therapeutic approaches work online
Attachment-based work looks at how early emotional bonds shape current relationships and reactions. Online sessions help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of relating in everyday life.Client-centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping people find their own solutions. The therapist offers a supportive space so clients can talk through worries and decide on meaningful next steps.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple awareness exercises to reduce rumination and ease anxiety. These practices can be coached over video or phone and practised between sessions to help with stress and mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jacqueline will explore your needs, goals and preferences and recommend which methods to try. Decisions are made together and reviewed regularly so the plan fits your life.
Online therapy offers flexibility and makes regular contact easier. Video calls work well for deeper conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions suit people with less bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow quick check-ins, shorter updates or support between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and travel.
