About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Selby is a counsellor with 15 years of experience supporting adults through stress, anxiety and major life changes. She works in a warm, respectful and non-judgmental way. Jacqueline uses a person-centred style that focuses on each person’s strengths and choices.
She helps people who are struggling with low mood, grief, parenting pressures and issues around identity, including LGBT concerns. Jacqueline also supports those dealing with addiction, anger or career stress.
Background and approach
Her practice covers a wide range of life challenges, such as chronic illness, caregiver strain and adoption or foster care matters. Sessions are shaped around what the individual needs. Jacqueline listens first and then helps set goals so progress can be seen.
She works collaboratively to notice unhelpful patterns and try small, practical changes that fit daily life. Motivational techniques and mindfulness practices are used alongside person-centred conversations. Jacqueline has worked with people across many countries and draws on that experience when meeting new clients.
She suggests a weekly rhythm of sessions to begin, then reviews how things are going. Appointments can include phone, video, live chat or text-based messaging according to what suits the person. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Sessions are offered in English and international clients are welcome. Jacqueline encourages anyone feeling stuck to take a small first step and get in touch.

How Jacqueline’s approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape feelings and behaviour. Online sessions explore those patterns and how they turn up now, which can help with parenting, relationship worries and attachment issues.Client-centred therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of each session. The therapist listens without judgement and follows the person's pace, helping them make sense of emotions and decide on next steps that feel right for them.
Mindfulness therapy uses simple attention and breathing practices to reduce overthinking and manage anxiety. These exercises are easy to try during a video call or as short daily practices between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jacqueline will talk through options with the person, consider their goals and preferences, and agree a plan together. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to practical needs and the issues being faced.
Online formats offer flexibility. Video calls support face-to-face conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions work well when lower bandwidth or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow ongoing reflection and quick check-ins between appointments. These options help people fit therapy around parenting, work and life commitments.
