About Jacqueline

Jacqueline Lawrence is a counsellor who helps people coping with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief and low self-esteem. She also supports people facing depression, family and parenting issues, trauma and compassion fatigue. Jacqueline draws on 23 years of practice in the United Kingdom and works with adults and young people impacted by a range of emotional difficulties.

She uses a pluralistic way of working, blending practical tools from different methods. Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her. Jacqueline aims to build a collaborative relationship where clients feel heard and understood.

In the room she listens to how clients think and feel about their problems. Together they map what is keeping the difficulty going and try small, manageable steps to change it. That might mean learning ways to cope with strong emotions, trying new communication habits, or looking at past experiences that still affect life now.

Her work covers attachment-related issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, and attachment difficulties. She also supports people dealing with family conflict, divorce and separation, blended family challenges, codependency and caregiving stress.

Jacqueline uses a mix of approaches including attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques and psychodynamic thinking. She frames work around each person’s goals and personal history. This practical combination helps clients move from understanding to new ways of coping.

She holds BACP and NCPS credentials and offers sessions in English. Prospective clients can follow the site process to begin a match and schedule sessions according to availability.

How Jacqueline’s approaches work online and in practice

Jacqueline often blends client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural ideas. Client-centred work means the counsellor listens closely and follows the client’s lead, helping people clarify what matters to them. Cognitive behavioural techniques focus on practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can help with anxiety, low mood and stress.

Attachment-based ideas are also part of her practice, paying attention to how early relationships shape current patterns. This can be useful for people dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, or relationship difficulties. Jacqueline aims to use these approaches together so the work fits the person’s history and goals.

Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. Jacqueline will talk with each client about their goals and preferences, then agree an approach to try. Adjustments are made as the work progresses so methods remain relevant to day-to-day needs.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please check the available options before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to keep regular meetings during work breaks or when juggling caregiving and employment.
