About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Selby is a counsellor with 15 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety and depression. She works in a warm, respectful and non-judgemental way. Jacqueline aims to make sessions supportive and practical so people can begin to feel more balanced.
Her practice uses a person‑centred stance that focuses on the client’s own strengths. She listens closely and helps people set small, realistic goals. Sessions are tailored to the individual and to whatever they are finding difficult in life right now.
Background and approach
Jacqueline has worked with a wide range of concerns including relationship worries, low self‑esteem, grief, parenting pressures, career stress and addictions. She also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue, major life changes and issues related to adoption or foster care. The practical work often looks at unhelpful patterns and small steps to try differently.
Her approach draws on attachment ideas, mindfulness and motivational interviewing alongside trauma‑focused thinking when needed. Jacqueline believes therapy is a journey and normalises moving forwards and backwards as part of change. She encourages checking progress regularly and adjusting the plan as required.
Sessions can be arranged in several formats and Jacqueline is comfortable working with people living in different countries. She invites people to take one small step towards change and offers steady, non‑judgemental support along the way.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jacqueline works collaboratively to test what helps most, mixing ideas to match the client’s needs, goals and preferences. She reviews progress together and adjusts the plan when something is not working well.
Online sessions offer flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls are useful for a fuller conversational experience, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check‑in is needed. Live chat and text‑based messaging suit people who prefer writing, want brief check‑ins between sessions or need a way to reflect without being on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and life commitments while keeping the focus on steady progress.
