About Jacqueline

Jacqueline Isles is a BACP counsellor with 18 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She meets people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. Jacqueline also supports those managing grief, trauma, ADHD and major life changes.

She takes a gentle, person-led approach that lets clients set the pace. Conversations focus on what matters to the individual and on practical ways to reduce distress. Sessions can be short term or longer term depending on the problem and what the person wants to work on.

Background and approach

Jacqueline draws on client-centred ways of working that put the person's experience at the heart of the process. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to help uncover patterns that may be affecting current relationships and feelings. Together these approaches aim to make sense of difficulties and help people find more choice in how they respond.

Her work covers a broad range of concerns including parenting strains, compassion fatigue, bipolar mood issues, anger and low self-esteem. Jacqueline listens without judgement and helps clients talk through past events that still affect day-to-day life. People are guided to identify small, manageable changes and to build coping strategies that fit their life.

The emphasis is on understanding, practical coping and restoring a sense of control. Jacqueline welcomes people who want a calm, thoughtful space to work through their worries.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening with empathy and following the person's lead. It helps with anxiety, low self-esteem and stress by giving space to talk and be heard. Psychodynamic therapy looks at patterns and past experiences that affect current feelings and relationships, which can help when worries keep repeating or when past events still feel present. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jacqueline will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and will adjust the way she works to fit each person's needs. This is a collaborative process so the plan can change as progress is made. Online sessions using video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video is useful for a fuller conversation, phone calls can be quicker check-ins or better where bandwidth is limited, and text or live chat suits shorter daily check-ins or people who prefer to write. These options offer flexibility and make it simpler to keep continuity of care when schedules or locations change.
