About Jacqueline

Jacqueline Lawrence is a counsellor with 23 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and low self-esteem. She also supports those dealing with trauma, parenting pressures, career change and compassion fatigue. Jacqueline uses a straightforward, caring style and focuses on building a practical, collaborative relationship from the first session.

Her approach is pluralistic, which means she draws on different methods depending on what a person needs in the moment. That can include talking through past experiences to understand patterns, working on thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going, or focusing on small, achievable steps to make life easier.

Jacqueline has worked with adults and young people affected by loss, attachment difficulties, abuse and relational problems. She pays attention to family of origin issues, blended family matters, adoption and foster care experiences, and themes such as abandonment and codependency.

In sessions she listens carefully and helps people clarify how they think and feel about a difficulty. Together they set manageable goals and practice skills to cope with day-to-day pressures and major life changes.

Jacqueline is registered with BACP, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and NCPS, the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society. She is based in the United Kingdom and offers work in English. To begin, people are invited to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current connections. It helps people notice patterns in relationships and develop more secure ways of relating to others. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre; the counsellor listens without judgement and helps the person find their own solutions and next steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jacqueline will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to use, matching techniques to goals and preferences rather than sticking to a single model. This means plans can shift as progress is made or new priorities emerge.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work, family and travel, and reducing time spent on commuting. If you need to check in during a shorter break, there are options to discuss timings and session length with the therapist. Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm which formats are offered before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt talking therapies to an online setting so that people make steady progress while fitting therapy into everyday life.
