About Jacqueline

Jacqueline Leydon is a counsellor who aims to make reaching out feel less daunting. She speaks plainly and listens closely to understand what is most troubling you. Jacqueline draws on eight years of practice and a BACP registration to offer steady, compassionate support.

She has personal experience with ADHD, autism, childhood trauma, sexual abuse, rape, domestic violence, addictions and loss, and says this helps her relate to the impact these events can have.

Background and approach

In sessions she prioritises a trusting, non-judgemental relationship so people can feel heard before moving on to change. Jacqueline uses a person-centred, integrative way of working. That means she follows the person in front of her and brings in techniques from different approaches when helpful.

Practical conversations and simple exercises are used to build awareness and coping skills. Her work covers stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, self-esteem, depression, addictions, LGBT issues, relationships, family matters, grief and intimacy-related problems. She also supports people with sleep problems, anger, career changes, ADHD and coping with major life changes.

Additional focus includes abandonment and attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, avoidant and dependent personality patterns, caregiver stress, codependency, commitment and communication problems, control issues, dissociation, domestic violence, divorce and separation, and feelings of emptiness. Jacqueline aims to help people find practical steps and clearer choices. Sessions are run online in English.

Jacqueline says she wants to help people build new understanding and move forward at their own pace.

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.

Therapeutic approaches you can access online

Jacqueline uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based work alongside person-centred principles to support people dealing with trauma and life changes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build more supported ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jacqueline will listen to your concerns, goals and preferences and will suggest options that fit your needs. Together you can try a way of working and adjust it as you learn what helps most.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy fit your life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more connection is helpful. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when speaking feels better than being on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins or when shorter, written exchanges suit your day-to-day schedule.
