Jacqueline Selby, BACP

Jacqueline Selby works from a person-centred approach that places the client at the heart of therapy. She offers a warm, respectful and non-judgmental style and aims to create space for people to talk through what matters to them. Jacqueline believes that with the right support people can make changes that lead to a more balanced life.

She has 15 years of experience in mental health and has supported people across many countries. Her work commonly covers stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and overthinking. Jacqueline also helps people dealing with relationship worries, grief, parenting pressures, addiction concerns and compassion fatigue.

Her sessions are shaped around each person’s situation and goals. She uses a person-centred stance that listens carefully and follows what the client brings, while also offering practical ways to notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses. Sessions may include goal-setting and reviewing progress together.

Jacqueline draws on approaches such as attachment-based work, mindfulness and motivational interviewing to support change. She tailors each plan to fit what a person needs right now and reviews progress as therapy continues. Over time she helps people find clearer choices and better ways of coping with life changes.

Clients may find it useful to start by aiming for weekly meetings for the first month, then reviewing frequency. Jacqueline works mainly weekdays and responds to messages during daytime check-ins. If you think her style might suit you, the next step is to begin the booking process.

How Jacqueline uses therapeutic approaches online

Jacqueline commonly draws on attachment-based work, client-centred practice and mindfulness in her sessions. Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds affect current relationships and helps people notice patterns in how they connect with others. Client-centred practice means the session follows what the person brings, with the counsellor offering empathy and support rather than directing the conversation. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily reactions, which can help with anxiety, stress and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the journey. Jacqueline collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. She will listen to what feels most helpful, try different techniques and review what is working as therapy continues.

Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by avoiding travel time, allowing shorter check-ins or using audio-only meetings when video is difficult. Many people find it simpler to attend regular sessions when they can join from wherever their day takes them, and a collaborative approach helps match the practical set-up to the aims of therapy.
