About Jacqueline

Jacqueline "Jacky" Ellis is a degree-educated counsellor who draws on several therapy styles to help people manage difficult feelings. She holds BACP accreditation and has three years of clinical experience. Jacky also volunteers at an addiction centre, where she gains hands-on experience supporting people with substance-related concerns.

Jacky offers a warm, non-judgemental presence in sessions. She aims to help people talk through anxiety, stress, grief, low self-esteem and the effects of trauma and abuse.

Background and approach

Her background includes work with addiction, dissociation and identity concerns, and she supports clients facing relationship and communication problems. Her practice blends psychodynamic ideas about early life experiences with humanistic work on authenticity and cognitive behavioural tools for practical change. These methods are used to help people understand patterns, challenge unhelpful thoughts and build more helpful habits.

Jacky explains things plainly and keeps the pace appropriate for each person. People often come to Jacky worried about loss, adoption-related issues, attachment difficulties or body image struggles. She listens for the underlying patterns that keep problems repeating and then works with clients to try different ways of coping.

Sessions aim to be collaborative and focused on what the client wants to change. Jacky works in the United Kingdom and speaks English. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is listed as BACP in her credentials.

Her style is approachable, steady and practical for people looking for thoughtful, ongoing support.

Ways of working Jacqueline names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Trauma-Focused Therapy looks at how difficult events affect feelings and behaviours. In short sessions this can mean gently naming what feels stuck and practising new ways to feel safer in day-to-day life. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand why they react a certain way in relationships and try different responses to build more stable connections.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jacky will listen to a person's story and preferences, explain options and decide together what to try first. That collaborative process means the plan can change as progress is made or as new needs appear.

Online sessions can be arranged by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face interaction for deeper conversational work, phone calls suit people who prefer not to be on camera, and chat or messaging can fit short check-ins or days when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, childcare or travel and allow continuity when in-person meetings are hard to organise.
