About Jacqueline

Jacqueline Selby is a counsellor with 15 years' experience working in mental health. She practises a person-centred approach and aims to offer a warm, respectful and non-judgemental space. Jacqueline describes herself as supportive and available, and she focuses on helping people find balance and move forward.

She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. She also helps with relationship issues, addiction, grief, parenting pressures and career worries. Jacqueline has experience supporting people from LGBT communities and those coping with major life changes.

Her style is collaborative and practical. Sessions are tailored to each person and their goals. Jacqueline prioritises your strengths and helps you spot unhelpful patterns that keep you stuck. She uses person-centred ideas alongside attachment work, trauma-informed thinking and mindfulness tools.

Jacqueline has worked with clients across many countries during her career and brings that breadth of experience to sessions. She asks people to treat therapy as a journey where progress can move forward and back at times, and she stays alongside clients as they make changes.

If you choose to work together, she suggests a weekly session rhythm to begin with, then a review after a few weeks. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions through the booking process.

How her approaches work in online counselling

Jacqueline uses person-centred ideas and attachment-based thinking to shape her work. Person-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping people find their own solutions; it suits issues like low confidence, stress and feeling stuck. Attachment-based approaches look at patterns in relationships and early connections to help with communication problems, abandonment concerns and recurring relationship difficulties.

She also draws on mindfulness practices to help people manage anxiety and stay present. Mindfulness offers simple exercises to notice thoughts and ease reactivity during stressful moments. Jacqueline aims to combine these methods so sessions match each person's needs rather than following a single formula.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jacqueline works collaboratively to decide what feels most helpful, adjusting techniques as goals and needs change. That means you can try different ways of working and keep what helps most.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting appointments around work and family life and reducing travel time. Before booking, check the current session options offered by the therapist, as formats are not specified here. When you arrange sessions you and the therapist can agree a rhythm that fits your routine and commitments.
