Jacqueline "Jackie" Farrant , BACP

Jacqueline "Jackie" Farrant offers a calm, approachable space for people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and changes in life. She aims to make it easier to take the first step into counselling and to help people feel understood and respected from the start.

Jackie works in a straightforward way. She listens and helps people talk through what matters most to them. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and practical ways to manage day-to-day difficulties.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. Her background includes supporting people after trauma, sexual abuse, and during bereavement, as well as helping with low self-esteem and motivation.

Jackie pays attention to how past relationships and attachment can affect current feelings. She also works with people facing chronic illness, codependency, isolation, and life-stage transitions. Her work can include addressing issues linked to abandonment, commitment worries, and dissociation.

Her style is rooted in Client-Centred Therapy, which puts the person's experience at the centre of sessions. That approach aims to help people find their own solutions while being listened to without judgement.

How Client-Centred Therapy works online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and responding to the person's experience. Online sessions aim to recreate that respectful, non-judgemental space so people can talk through stress, anxiety, grief or past trauma at their own pace. The counsellor reflects back what is heard and helps the person identify their own next steps.

The therapist may also consider how attachment and past relationships influence current feelings, working with those themes in a collaborative way. Together they look at what matters most to the person and agree practical goals and coping strategies tailored to their situation.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and the therapist works with the person to decide what fits best. That decision is based on needs, goals and preferences, and can change over time as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation when bandwidth allows. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when hands-free or less screen time is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or times when writing feels easier. Together these options offer flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy around daily life.
