About Jacqueline

Jacqueline Selby works with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and self-esteem difficulties using a person-centred approach that focuses on each person's strengths and choices. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 15 years of experience in mental health work.

Jacqueline offers straightforward, conversational counselling. Sessions focus on what is worrying the client now and on small, practical steps they can take. She listens without judgment and helps people identify patterns that get in the way, such as overthinking or unhelpful coping habits.

Her background includes supporting adults with a wide range of concerns. Typical areas include grief and loss, parenting strains, career stress, addiction-related difficulties, and issues linked to sexuality and gender identity. She also works with longer-term themes such as attachment, abandonment and codependency.

Jacqueline uses methods that fit the person’s needs rather than a fixed protocol. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns, client-centred principles to follow what matters most to the person, and mindfulness techniques to manage overwhelming thoughts and feelings. Motivational interviewing and trauma-focused ideas are used where helpful.

She has worked with people across many countries and brings 15 years of practical experience to sessions. People who choose her can expect a clear structure to early meetings, with an initial plan and regular review points to measure progress.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the service. Fees vary with location and sessions run via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Jacqueline’s approaches work for online counselling

Jacqueline uses client-centred counselling to place the person's priorities at the centre of sessions, listening closely and shaping sessions around what the person wants to address. This approach helps when someone needs space to talk through feelings and make their own decisions.

She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at repeating relationship patterns and how early experiences affect current reactions. This can be useful for people struggling with communication problems, commitment worries or attachment issues. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help manage overwhelming thoughts and to build practical strategies for stress and anxiety.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Jacqueline will discuss options with the client and decide together what methods suit the person’s needs, goals and preferences. The approach can change over time as progress is reviewed.

The practical benefits of remote counselling include fitting sessions into a busy week and making it easier to keep a regular routine. Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Many people find online sessions help them maintain momentum between meetings and make it simpler to schedule appointments around work or family commitments.
