Jaquetta Trueman

Jaquetta Trueman is a BACP counsellor who brings 15 years of experience supporting adults through hard chapters of life. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can slow down and look honestly at what is happening for them. Sessions focus on exploring thoughts, feelings and patterns so clients can find clearer choices and a steadier way forward.

Her way of working is integrative and humanistic. She draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Existential Therapy to keep the relationship grounded in respect and personal meaning. Jaquetta also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Mindfulness to help people notice their inner experience and make values-based choices, and Internal Family Systems to look at different parts of the self that influence feelings and behaviour.

She supports people with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addictions, relationship issues and anger. Other areas she focuses on include self-esteem, sleep problems, parenting strain, career pressure and coping with life changes. There is also experience helping people with trauma and abuse, ADHD and the emotional effects of ageing and caregiving.

Jaquetta works in the United Kingdom and practices in English. Her approach is collaborative - she listens first, then adapts methods to what a person needs. Practical tools and reflective conversation are used together so people can try things between sessions and notice what helps.

To begin, she asks people to share what brought them to therapy and what they hope to change. From there she and the client agree how to proceed, step by step.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and responding with empathy. Online sessions using this approach concentrate on building a trusting conversation so the person feels heard and understood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values; online work often includes simple exercises and everyday experiments to try between meetings.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt methods based on how someone responds. This means sessions can change over time as priorities shift or new issues arise.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the current options before booking. In practice, online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life - it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or help maintain continuity when someone is moving or busy with work. Registered or accredited professionals can use these practical ways of working to help people keep therapy consistent and manageable alongside everyday responsibilities.
