About Jacqueline
Counsellor Jacqueline John is a BACP member with 36 years of practice. She is based in the United Kingdom and works remotely and internationally under UK law. She helps people handle stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, addiction and related concerns.
Jacqueline uses an integrative approach and adapts sessions to what a person needs. That means she can draw on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Attachment-Based work and Client-Centred ways of working. Sessions often look at current problems alongside relevant past experiences.
She has experience supporting people through parenting strains, family problems, separation and bereavement. Other areas she addresses include self-esteem, anger, career strain, compassion fatigue, ADHD and intimacy-related issues. There is additional focus on adoption and foster care, attachment and family of origin concerns.
Jacqueline has run a private practice and worked with external organisations and charities. She follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical framework as a counselling member of the BACP.
Practical matters are discussed at the first session, including whether short-term or longer-term work is appropriate. Sessions take place remotely, and she notes she is not available at weekends or bank holidays, though she aims to reply to enquiries within 24 hours.
Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling
Jacqueline commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside Client-Centred work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that reflect their values; it can help with anxiety, stress and difficult life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early attachments affect current trust and intimacy; it can be useful for relationship and family issues. Client-Centred work places attention on the person and their experience in the session, aiming to build understanding and clearer self-direction.Finding the best approach is part of the first sessions. Jacqueline will work with the client to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can be reviewed as the work progresses.
Practical benefits of remote counselling include fitting sessions around work and family life and reducing travel time. Some formats may be better for shorter check-ins or for people who prefer not to be on camera. The exact session formats for Jacqueline should be confirmed before booking so you know what to expect and how to plan each appointment.
