About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Selby offers a person-centred approach that puts the individual at the heart of therapy. She uses a warm, respectful and compassionate style to help people feel understood and supported. Jacqueline draws on 15 years of experience to tailor sessions to each person’s needs and goals.
Her work focuses on common pressures such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She also helps with relationship concerns, grief, addiction, parenting strains and career challenges.
Background and approach
Jacqueline lists LGBT issues, coping with life changes and compassion fatigue among her areas of focus. Jacqueline believes people already hold many of the strengths they need. In sessions she listens without judgement and helps clients spot patterns that keep them stuck.
She then supports practical steps to try new ways of coping and thinking. Her background includes supporting adults across a wide range of concerns and life stages. Over 15 years she has worked with people facing loss, long-term health issues, adoption and foster care questions, attachment and communication difficulties, and more.
This broad experience informs a flexible, person-centred way of working. Jacqueline is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works from the United Kingdom and conducts therapy in English.

How Jacqueline works online
She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them. Mindfulness can be useful for anxiety, overthinking and learning calming habits during stressful days.
Finding the right way of working is part of therapy. Jacqueline will discuss goals and preferences and decide together which approaches to use. That collaborative process helps match technique to the person’s real-life needs and aims.
If you prefer to have therapy online, check the site to confirm the exact session options before booking. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into busy schedules, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can often adapt exercises and mindfulness practices for online sessions so the work still feels hands-on and practical.
