About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Selby is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to help people regain balance and build on their strengths. She brings 15 years of experience supporting adults with anxiety, stress, low self-esteem and life changes. Jacqueline is based in the United Kingdom and is registered with BACP.
She offers a warm, respectful and non-judgemental style. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person seeking help. Jacqueline works collaboratively to set priorities, spot unhelpful patterns and try practical steps that can lead to change.
Background and approach
Her experience covers a wide range of concerns including depression, grief, addictions and parenting stress. She also supports people with relationship difficulties, career worries, LGBT concerns, compassion fatigue and coping after loss. Jacqueline has additional experience with issues such as attachment difficulties, adoption and foster care, ageing, autism, chronic illness and body image.
Jacqueline uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. She draws on attachment-based thinking to look at relationship patterns and on mindfulness to help reduce worry and reactivity. Motivational interviewing and trauma-focused ideas are used where they fit the individuals goals.
Practical arrangements are straightforward. Sessions can be booked by completing the short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time. Jacqueline suggests weekly sessions to begin with, then a review after about four weeks to check progress and adjust the plan if needed.

How her approaches work online
Jacqueline commonly blends person-centred work with attachment-based ideas and mindfulness techniques. Person-centred counselling means the sessions focus on your priorities and strengths, with the counsellor offering support and reflection rather than direction. Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationships shape current patterns and help to identify unhelpful ways of relating. Mindfulness introduces simple practices to reduce rumination and bring attention back to the present moment, which can help with anxiety and stress.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Jacqueline will talk with you about your goals and preferences, then test different ways of working to see what helps. The plan can change as you progress, so the approach evolves to match what is useful and practical for you.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for more in-depth conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you need a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer written reflection or need support between calls. These options make counselling more flexible and help people fit sessions into busy schedules.
