About Jacqueline

Counsellor Jacqueline Laoudi is a BACP registered member with seven years' experience. She works in the United Kingdom and helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports people with relationship and family concerns, grief, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, ADHD and related issues.

Jacqueline uses a mix of practical talking methods. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on small steps you can try between meetings. She draws on client-centred listening, attachment-based ideas about relationships, and cognitive behavioural techniques to look at thoughts and behaviours.

Jacqueline also uses emotionally-focused work to look at how feelings affect relationships, and mindfulness practices to help with mood and stress. She explains approaches plainly and uses them in ways that fit each persons situation. Sessions aim to build clearer thinking and steadier coping rather than promise quick fixes.

In the room she keeps things direct and conversational. People can expect a balance of listening and practical suggestions. Goal-setting is used when useful, including simple SMART-style goals to track small changes.

She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Fees vary by location and sessions run via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people are asked to use the See online counselling options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

How Jacqueline uses different approaches in online counselling

Jacqueline draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps when recurring relationship difficulties or trust issues cause distress. She also uses client-centred listening which focuses on understanding a persons experience and building a working relationship through careful, person-focused talking.

She often brings in cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and test small behavioural changes. CBT-style work can help with anxiety, low mood and patterns that keep problems going. Choosing which methods to use is a collaborative process; the therapist will discuss options, try approaches and check how they feel for the person in each session.

Practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep continuity when people move or live abroad, since she accepts international clients. The exact session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current session options before booking. Jacqueline aims to match approach and scheduling to everyday life and to adjust plans as needs and goals change.
