About Jaquetta

Jaquetta Trueman works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem and other life challenges using a person-centred approach. She is a BACP member and has 15 years of experience in counselling and psychotherapy.

Jaquetta asks clients to talk about what is bothering them and what they want to change. Sessions focus on noticing patterns of thought and behaviour, and on developing practical ways to cope day to day. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness exercises alongside client-centred and existential ideas to help people find clearer choices.

Her work includes support for depression, addictions, sleep problems, anger and career stress. Jaquetta also works with issues linked to trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and difficulties around attachment, abandonment and codependency. She aims to help people understand how past experiences affect present relationships and feelings.

People who come for counselling can expect conversational sessions that explore feelings, values and goals. Techniques from Internal Family Systems are used at times to help map different parts of a person’s inner world and reduce self-criticism. Mindfulness practices are offered to build moment-to-moment coping skills.

Jaquetta has experience supporting those dealing with divorce and separation, infidelity, loneliness, ageing concerns and caregiving stress. She encourages practical steps alongside reflection so clients can manage immediate problems while working towards longer term change.

How her approaches can work in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on giving people space to speak and be heard without direction, which can help with self-esteem, grief and relationship worries. Internal Family Systems (IFS) maps different parts of a person’s inner experience and can be useful for working with trauma responses and self-criticism.

Choosing an approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss the methods above and agree with the client which to try first based on needs, goals and practical preferences. Sessions can change as the client learns what helps most, and the process is collaborative.

Please confirm current session formats before booking as the biography does not list them. Online working can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter or longer check-ins when needed. Some people find sessions without video helpful when bandwidth is limited or when a quieter, less demanding check-in is required.
