About Jackie

Jackie Garratt is a counsellor and life coach who helps people find firmer ground when stress, anxiety or painful memories make life hard. She speaks plainly and offers steady support as people work through distressing experiences and try to rebuild confidence and purpose. Jackie listens without judgement and uses a person-centred style to help people make sense of what they are feeling.

Sessions focus on understanding triggers, coping with flashbacks or overwhelm, and reducing unhelpful thought patterns that sap wellbeing.

Background and approach

She draws on several approaches, including trauma-focused work, cognitive behavioural techniques and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to tailor sessions to each person. Coaching elements can help with practical steps, mindset shifts and goal-setting when that is needed.

Jackie has eight years' experience supporting people across a wide range of issues, including grief, addiction, family and parenting challenges, low self-esteem, ADHD, chronic health concerns and complex life changes. She also has experience working with survivors of sexual violence and people affected by childhood trauma, and offers Christian counselling where clients request it.

Clients can expect calm, down-to-earth support and flexible ways of working. Jackie combines her counselling and life coaching skills to help people move from where they are now towards clearer personal goals and steadier emotional balance.

How Jackie uses therapeutic approaches online

Jackie commonly uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people process distressing memories and overwhelm. That work concentrates on identifying triggers, reducing reactivity and building coping strategies to live with difficult experiences.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without fighting them and choosing actions that align with personal values. ACT can help with anxiety, depression and finding motivation during life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jackie will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what has helped before, then choose or blend methods together. This collaborative planning means sessions can shift as needs change over time.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversational work, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text options let people reflect between sessions. These choices give flexibility for timing, pace and how someone prefers to communicate.
