About Jacqueline
Jacqueline John is a counsellor with 36 years of experience who aims to make taking the first step easier. She speaks calmly and plainly, and helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship pain or feeling stuck in life. Jacqueline offers support for a wide range of concerns, including self-esteem, addictions, trauma, parenting strains and work-related stress.
Jacqueline practices in the United Kingdom and works remotely and internationally under UK law guidelines.
Background and approach
She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - and works within its ethical framework. Sessions can be short term or longer term depending on what each person needs. Her approach is integrative and person-centred.
That means she draws on different ways of working to suit what someone brings to a session. Conversations cover both present challenges and important past experiences to find practical ways forward. She commonly uses Existential ideas to look at meaning and choice, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thoughts and behaviours, and Attachment-based thinking to examine relationship patterns.
These methods are mixed in a way that fits each client’s situation and goals. Jacqueline has worked with many different people and in a variety of settings, including charities and external organisations. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to match people’s needs and schedules.
If someone wishes to begin, Jacqueline asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session to discuss hopes and expectations.

Online support
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Jacqueline blends Existential Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people find meaning and make practical changes. Existential Therapy encourages people to name what matters to them and to consider choices and responsibility in their lives, which can help with feelings of emptiness, grief or life transitions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches ways to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match personal values, useful for anxiety, depression and coping with change.She treats approach selection as a collaborative process. In early sessions she and the client will discuss goals, worries and preferences, and together decide which methods suit best. The aim is to adapt the work to the person rather than force a single technique.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat can suit quick check-ins or days when typing feels easier than speaking. These options help people fit therapy around work, childcare or travel and make it simpler to keep regular contact with a therapist.
