About Jaqui

Jaqui Lamb is a counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with three years' direct practice as a therapist. She works from the United Kingdom and supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, addictions and relationship and family concerns, including codependency and attachment issues.

She uses an integrative style, combining approaches to fit what a person needs. Sessions are collaborative and conversational. Jaqui listens for patterns that keep someone stuck, such as people-pleasing or trouble saying no, then helps identify practical steps to try between sessions.

Her work draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships can shape current feelings and reactions. She also uses client-centred principles to keep sessions focused on the person's own experiences and choices. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) features when the emphasis is on understanding and changing emotional responses in close relationships.

In practice Jaqui mixes these approaches with solution-focused tools and exercises. That can include short practical tasks, ways to manage intense feelings, and conversations about setting boundaries or reducing reactivity around another person's drinking or mood swings. The tone is straightforward and aimed at helping someone regain a clearer sense of themselves.

She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before booking a first session. Costs vary with location and are billed through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are not accepted at this time.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches used and how online sessions work

Jaqui commonly draws on attachment-based work and Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside client-centred ways of working. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships shape feelings and reactions now, and can help when patterns from the past repeat in current relationships. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying and changing strong emotional responses in close relationships, which can be useful for people struggling with intimacy, reactivity or codependent patterns. Client-centred work keeps conversations grounded in the person's own experience, prioritising their perspective and choices.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. She will discuss what feels most relevant and try methods that match a person's needs, goals and preferences. The plan can change as work progresses, and adjustments are made together based on what helps most.

The biography notes sessions are provided online, face-to-face and by telephone, but session formats should be confirmed before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins, or reduce travel time. Telephone sessions can suit people who prefer not to use video or have lower bandwidth. Confirm the specific session options and practical arrangements when you complete the matching questionnaire before booking.
