About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Selby is a warm and compassionate counsellor with 15 years of experience in mental health. She works in a person-centred way, tailoring sessions to each person's needs and helping them find practical steps forward. Jacqueline aims to create a respectful, non-judgemental space where people can talk honestly about what is troubling them.
Jacqueline has supported adults with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief, addictions and career worries. She also works with issues linked to identity and sexuality, and has a professional interest in adoption and foster care matters. Her approach trusts that people already have strengths to draw on and that therapy can help make those strengths more visible.
In sessions she focuses on identifying unhelpful patterns and setting realistic goals. Conversations are solution-focused while also allowing space to understand deeper feelings. Jacqueline encourages a steady routine of contact early on so progress can be reviewed after a few weeks.
Her style is practical and supportive. She offers clear explanations, gentle challenge when helpful, and collaborative planning so people can notice change. Communication between sessions is managed within stated working times and she asks people to book via the schedule route.
Jacqueline works with individuals across a spectrum of life challenges, including parenting strain, compassion fatigue and coping with life changes. She has experience supporting people in different countries and aims to adapt sessions to fit each person’s circumstances and goals.
How Jacqueline uses therapeutic approaches online
Jacqueline draws on attachment-based and mindfulness approaches alongside a client-centred way of working. Attachment-based work looks at how early connections shape feelings and patterns, and can help when relationships or attachment issues cause ongoing worry. Mindfulness therapy focuses on present-moment noticing, simple breathing and attention skills that reduce rumination and stress.She sees choosing the right approach as a collaborative process. Together the therapist and client discuss what matters most, try out techniques, and adjust the plan based on how things are going. The aim is to find methods that match each person’s goals and daily life rather than to follow a fixed formula.
If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking so you know how Jacqueline offers appointments. Many people value online work because it can fit around work, caregiving or travel; sessions can take less time out of the day and make it easier to maintain a weekly routine. Online sessions also let someone practise skills learned in conversation directly in their own environment. The therapist will help you decide how best to structure sessions so they support your goals and everyday commitments.
