About Jacqueline
Jacqueline John is a BACP counselling member with 36 years of experience, practising from the United Kingdom. She works remotely and with international clients under UK law guidelines. Jacqueline helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, self-esteem concerns, addiction issues and anger among other life problems.
She uses an integrative approach that draws on several well-known methods. Sessions look at current difficulties and relevant past experiences. Jacqueline mixes Client-Centred ways of working with cognitive-behavioural tools and ideas from attachment and existential thinking when useful.
People are offered both shorter and longer-term arrangements, discussed at the first meeting. The emphasis is on practical conversation, noticing patterns, and trying small, doable changes between sessions. She also supports those coping with family problems, parenting strain, adoption and foster care issues, and wounds from trauma or abuse.
Jacqueline has worked with a wide range of life themes over her career, including career worries, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related struggles, intimacy and sexual difficulties, and unresolved family of origin matters. She also addresses difficult topics such as domestic violence, divorce, hoarding, guilt and shame, and forgiveness.
Sessions are framed by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical code. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session to agree goals and practical arrangements.
Therapeutic approaches used online and how they help
Jacqueline commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside a Client-Centred way of working. ACT focuses on accepting difficult feelings while taking actions that match personal values; it can help when anger leads to avoidance or shame. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they shape responses to others, which is useful for anger related to intimacy and family wounds. Client-Centred work prioritises listening and reflecting so people can make sense of their own responses and find their own solutions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jacqueline will discuss different methods with each person and agree what to try first. That decision is collaborative and may change as practical goals become clearer during sessions.
Practical benefits of online sessions include easier fitting of therapy into a busy week and the option to join from wherever you are based. Please confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography notes remote and international work under UK guidelines but does not list specific session types here. Online meetings can make short check-ins easier, reduce travel time, and allow work around job or family commitments.
