About Jackie

Jackie Garratt is a counsellor and life coach who focuses on helping people regain their sense of wellbeing. She works with adults facing anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, relationship problems and struggles with self-worth. Jackie aims to make sessions calm and straightforward so people can start to feel more in control again.

Jackie uses a person-centred way of working that puts the client's experience first. She combines that with practical methods such as cognitive behavioural techniques and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help change unhelpful thinking and behaviours.

Background and approach

Sessions may also draw on solution-focused ideas or motivational interviewing when helpful. She has eight years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Before qualifying she worked in community roles including youth work, fostering and coordinating support for women affected by domestic abuse and sexual assault.

That background shaped her practical, down-to-earth style. Jackie offers flexible session styles and adapts the approach to suit each person. She can support people dealing with parenting strain, bereavement, addiction, chronic health challenges, ADHD, attachment issues and related concerns.

She also integrates coaching techniques for people wanting help with goals and mindset changes. People who choose Jackie can expect a warm, non-judgemental atmosphere and a focus on small, manageable steps. She encourages clients to explore what matters to them and build strategies that fit their life and values.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Approaches that guide online counselling and coaching

Jackie commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in online work. ACT helps people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and life changes. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing it with practical exercises to reduce distress and improve daily routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jackie works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She will review progress and adapt techniques so the sessions remain relevant and useful for day-to-day life.

Online sessions are available by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a straightforward check-in. Live chat and messaging suit short reflections, on-the-day support or people who prefer typing over speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and mobility needs.
