About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Selby is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has 15 years of experience in mental health work in the United Kingdom. She supports adults with common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues and codependency. Jacqueline also works with people facing grief, career change, parenting stress and compassion fatigue.
She uses a person-centred way of working that focuses on listening and on the client’s own resources. Sessions centre on what matters to the person and on small, practical steps they can try between meetings. Jacqueline also draws on attachment-based ideas to notice patterns in relationships and on mindfulness to help manage difficult thoughts and feelings.
People who meet her often talk through their immediate worries first. They then look at where repeated patterns come from and what gets in the way of setting boundaries or making changes. Motivational interviewing techniques can be used to build momentum when someone feels stuck or unmotivated.
Jacqueline has experience supporting a wide range of issues including addictions, body image, chronic illness, autism, adoption and foster care related concerns, and abandonment. She has worked with people across different life stages and with varied relationship challenges, helping them to identify realistic next steps.
Practical details are straightforward. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted. Fees vary by location and sessions run on a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short questionnaire is completed and a first appointment is scheduled.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Jacqueline combines person-centred practice with attachment-based thinking and mindfulness work. Person-centred therapy concentrates on listening and on the individual’s strengths, helping people to name their priorities and choose small changes to try. Attachment-based ideas look at recurring patterns in relationships and help people understand why they repeat certain behaviours, which can be useful when addressing people-pleasing or difficulty saying no. Mindfulness offers simple practices to manage overwhelming thoughts and to steady attention during stressful moments.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Jacqueline will discuss goals and preferences with each client and together they decide which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process that can be adjusted as therapy continues and aims to match the approach to the person’s needs and pace.
Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy life and reducing travel time so appointments can be easier to keep. Some people prefer shorter check-ins while others use a full session to focus on a single problem; these options can be discussed when booking. Confirm the specific session formats offered before you book so you know whether phone or video options are available for your situation.
