About

About Jacqueline

Jacqueline Lawrence is a counsellor with more than 23 years of experience. She focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief and self-esteem. Jacqueline also helps people facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, career change and trauma-related issues.

She uses a pluralistic approach that draws on several methods. That means sessions are shaped around what helps each person most. Conversation is straightforward and practical, with attention to feelings, patterns and what someone wants to change.

Background and approach

Jacqueline pays close attention to attachment and how early relationships affect current life. She also uses ideas from cognitive behavioural therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and try new responses. Psychodynamic thinking helps unpick long-standing patterns while solution-focused work looks for small, useful steps forward.

Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person. Jacqueline listens and reflects, then suggests techniques and experiments to try between meetings. The aim is to build coping skills, clearer thinking and greater resilience when life gets hard.

Her background includes work across loss, bereavement, adoption and foster care matters, domestic violence and family of origin issues. She holds BACP and NCPS credentials and provides counselling from the United Kingdom. Sessions are offered in English and international clients can be accepted.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches and how online therapy fits

Jacqueline often uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships influence current patterns. This approach helps people understand why they react certain ways in close relationships and can be helpful for parenting, attachment issues and relationship strain.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT offers straightforward techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking and build practical coping strategies for anxiety, stress and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jacqueline will discuss options, check what feels helpful and adapt methods to fit each person's goals and preferences. The choice of approach is collaborative and can change over time as progress is reviewed.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make counselling more flexible. Video calls are useful for a face-to-face feel, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging allows reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, parenting or travel and make ongoing support more accessible.
