Jacqueline Selby , BACP

Jacqueline Selby is a counsellor with 15 years of experience who uses a person-centred style. She offers calm, respectful care and focuses on helping people find practical ways to move forward. Jacqueline is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and she works with a wide range of day-to-day and longer-term difficulties.

She helps people manage stress, anxiety and depression. She also supports those dealing with grief, addictions, parenting strain, compassion fatigue and questions about identity including LGBT matters. Jacqueline assists people facing life changes, career worries, low self-esteem and issues with relationships or communication.

Her work often looks at underlying patterns such as attachment and past trauma that keep the same problems repeating. Sessions are shaped around the person rather than a fixed protocol. Jacqueline draws on mindfulness, motivational interviewing and trauma-focused ideas when they suit the situation.

Jacqueline has worked with people in many countries and across different stages of adult life. She describes her style as warm, non-judgemental and practical, aiming to help clients spot unhelpful patterns and try new ways of coping. Typical early sessions focus on prioritising worries and agreeing manageable steps.

Practical arrangements are straightforward. Sessions can be video calls, phone appointments, live chat or messaging. People usually try weekly meetings at first for the first month, then review how often they meet. Jacqueline accepts international clients and sees people in the United Kingdom time zones.

How Jacqueline’s approaches work online

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape current reactions; it helps when trust, connection or repeated relationship hurts are central. Client-centred therapy centres on listening and acceptance so people can explore their own goals and find their own solutions; it suits those who want a supportive space to think things through. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that reduce rumination and help manage stress and anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jacqueline will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. Decisions are collaborative and can change as you learn more about what helps.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let you meet face to face and keep visual contact. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat or text messaging can fit into busy days and suit check-ins or brief reflections between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting or travel while still maintaining a steady rhythm of meetings.
