About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Lawrence is a counsellor registered with BACP and NCPS and has 23 years of experience. She works with people who are struggling with anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem and trauma related concerns including abuse and attachment issues.
Jacqueline uses a pluralistic approach, which means she draws on several ways of working to suit each person. Sessions often include elements from cognitive behavioural work, psychodynamic thinking and attachment-based ideas. She explains things plainly and helps clients understand patterns that keep problems repeating.
Her style is collaborative. She listens to how a person feels and thinks about their situation and then jointly decides on practical steps. That can mean short-term solution-focused plans or looking further back at life events that shape current reactions.
Jacqueline has supported adults and younger people with issues such as depression, family problems, parenting stress, adoption and foster care concerns, codependency, dissociation and relationship breakdown. She also helps with work and career stress and compassion fatigue.
In sessions she works on building clearer ways to cope, better communication, and practical skills for managing strong emotions. She may use focused exercises from CBT alongside talking that explores personal history and attachment patterns. Clients are encouraged to try techniques between sessions and review what helps.
Jacqueline accepts international clients and conducts work in English. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then book an initial appointment.
How her approaches translate to online work
Jacqueline commonly blends attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural techniques. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people notice how early bonds affect current reactions. Client-centred therapy focuses on careful listening and reflecting back what someone says so they can clarify their thoughts and feelings. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours for anxiety and low mood.Finding the right mix is part of the process. Jacqueline will work together with each person to decide which approaches fit their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative decision can change as therapy progresses and different methods can be introduced when useful.

The therapist will discuss how sessions can be arranged to suit practical constraints and the kind of work planned.
