About Jacqueline
Jacqueline John is a counsellor with 36 years of experience who aims to make reaching out feel simpler. She understands that stress, anxiety and life changes can feel overwhelming and offers a calm, steady presence to help people find clearer ways forward. Jacqueline works remotely from the United Kingdom and accepts clients internationally.
She holds BACP membership, which means she follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy's ethical framework and code of practice.
Background and approach
Her approach is flexible and practical. Jacqueline draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to look at patterns of thought and behaviour. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people identify values and take manageable steps towards them.
Attachment-based work is part of her toolkit when earlier relationships affect current difficulties. She combines these methods with a person-centred way of working, so conversations are shaped around what matters to the individual. Jacqueline has supported people around stress, anxiety, relationship and parenting concerns, grief, addiction, trauma, self-esteem, anger and career questions.
She also addresses more specific themes such as attachment issues, blended family challenges, fatherhood issues, adoption and foster care matters, and compassion fatigue. Sessions can be short term or longer term depending on what a person wants. She does not work on weekends or bank holidays and aims to reply to enquiries within 24 hours.
To begin, potential clients complete a short matching questionnaire and can then schedule sessions according to availability.

Approaches that suit online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then pick small actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current connections; it helps people understand patterns in relationships and build different ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's own priorities at the heart of sessions, using warm, non-judgemental listening so clients can explore what matters most to them.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Jacqueline will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and adapt techniques as needed. Together they work out whether to focus on practical skills, exploring relationship patterns, or simply providing a supportive space to talk things through.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who find writing easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and travel, so people can access consistent support from different places.
