How Jacqueline blends approaches for online therapy
Jacqueline commonly uses trauma-focused work to help people process distressing memories and reduce their impact on day-to-day life. That approach often moves at a careful pace and focuses on managing reactions rather than erasing memories.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes.
Finding the right style is part of the work together. Jacqueline will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, then try methods that suit the person's needs. The process is collaborative and can be adjusted over time.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during a short break, live chat offers a simpler way to check in, and text messaging supports ongoing brief contact between sessions. These options aim to make counselling more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and travel.
