Jacqueline John

Jacqueline John is a counsellor with 36 years of experience who aims to make the first step easier for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or anger. She works remotely and with international clients under UK law. Her approach is warm and non-judgemental, with a practical focus on what is troubling you now.

Jacqueline practices as an integrative psychotherapist and counsellor. She tailors sessions to each person, drawing on methods such as cognitive behavioural work and person-centred listening. Sessions look at current stresses and past experiences so people can better understand patterns that keep causing pain.

She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and follows their ethical framework. Jacqueline has worked in private practice and with charities and external organisations, which has given her a broad view of different life situations and backgrounds.

Jacqueline offers both shorter and longer term arrangements and will discuss hopes and expectations in an initial meeting. Her style balances empathy with gentle challenge, helping people spot practical steps they can try between sessions.

She does not take sessions at weekends or on bank holidays and aims to reply to enquiries within 24 hours. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details.

How Jacqueline uses therapy approaches online

Jacqueline draws on a few core methods to help people manage difficult feelings and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and helps people try small experiments to change unhelpful patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, focuses on identifying values and taking practical steps towards them while learning to sit with uncomfortable feelings when they arise.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jacqueline will talk through goals, how you prefer to work and what feels achievable. She adapts her method as you progress, and decisions about technique are made collaboratively rather than imposed.

Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life. It can save travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a workday break, and reduce the need to be on camera if that helps you focus. Session formats are not listed here, so please confirm available online session options before booking to make sure they suit your needs.
