About Jacqueline
Counsellor and BACP member with 15 years' experience, Jacqueline Selby supports adults in the United Kingdom and internationally. She works with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, relationship concerns, addictions and parenting strains among other issues. Sessions are offered in English and the practice is informed by client-centred ideas and attachment work.
Jacqueline uses a client-centred approach that treats the person as the expert in their own life. She listens without judging and helps people organise their thoughts. Work often focuses on spotting patterns that cause difficulty and trying small, practical changes to test what helps.
Attachment-based ideas are used where early relationship patterns affect current feelings and connections. Mindfulness techniques are introduced to help people notice thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed by them. Motivational interviewing can help when someone feels stuck or unsure about change.
Jacqueline has supported people through grief, major life changes, chronic illness and carer stress, and she has experience with adoption, foster care and attachment concerns. She also lists a range of additional issues such as body image, communication problems and compassion fatigue.
Practical arrangements are discussed at first contact. Her practice uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Prospective clients are asked to complete a short questionnaire and then book a first session to agree goals and how often to meet.
How Jacqueline uses counselling approaches online
Jacqueline combines client-centred work with attachment and mindfulness ideas to help people understand and change unhelpful patterns. Client-centred work means the counsellor listens and follows what matters most to the person, helping them make sense of their feelings and priorities. Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationship experiences shape current reactions and closeness with others, which can be useful for relationship strain, abandonment concerns and parenting stresses. Mindfulness techniques teach simple attention skills to notice thoughts and feelings without becoming overwhelmed, and these can support anxiety, stress and grief.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jacqueline will discuss your concerns, goals and preferences and agree which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as progress and needs become clearer.
The biography mentions live phone, video or chat sessions, but session options should be confirmed before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family life and travel. Phone sessions can be quicker check-ins while video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, and chat can suit shorter or more flexible contacts. Registered and accredited professionals, including counsellors, often use these formats to help people balance therapy with everyday life.
