About Jacqueline

Jacqueline John is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 36 years of experience. She is based in the United Kingdom and works remotely and internationally under UK law guidelines. Jacqueline helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and family concerns, anger, addictions, trauma and a wide range of related issues.

She practises an integrative approach and chooses methods that suit each person’s situation. That can include cognitive behavioural ideas to tackle unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. She also uses elements from existential and psychodynamic thinking, all within a person-centred framework.

Sessions focus on what is happening now and how past experiences may still affect daily life. Jacqueline can offer short term work to address a specific problem or longer contracts for deeper exploration. She discusses expectations and goals in the first meeting to agree a plan that feels reasonable.

Jacqueline has worked with people from varied backgrounds, sexual orientations and faiths, and for many years has provided counselling for organisations and charities as well as in private practice. Feedback mentioned she brings insight and a willingness to challenge unhelpful patterns when needed.

She normally does not run sessions at weekends or on bank holidays. People who want to begin are asked to use the online matching and booking steps to arrange an initial session.

How sessions work

How Jacqueline uses core approaches in remote sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful when anger or frustration gets in the way of relationships or work. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and helps people understand why they respond strongly in close relationships.

Jacqueline integrates these methods with person-centred listening and CBT strategies to manage thoughts and behaviours. She works collaboratively to identify which approach fits a person’s goals and circumstances. Deciding on an approach is part of early sessions, and she will check in and adjust the plan as needed.

The biography states she works remotely and internationally under UK law guidelines, but it does not list specific session formats. Confirm current session options before booking so you know whether phone, video or another format is offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy works around work or family commitments.
