Jacqueline Lawrence, BACP, NCPS

Jacqueline Lawrence is a conscientious and compassionate counsellor with 23 years of professional experience supporting people through a wide range of emotional challenges. Her practice is pluralistic, which means she blends methods drawn from humanistic, cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic traditions along with other techniques to tailor therapy to each person's needs. This flexible way of working reflects the understanding that different approaches help at different times and for different issues.

She has substantial experience with both adults and young people affected by anxiety, depression, stress, attachment difficulties, trauma and abuse, loss and bereavement, and relational problems. Jacqueline also works with concerns such as self-esteem, parenting and career questions, family and blended family issues, codependency and communication difficulties. Her background includes supporting people through life transitions, compassion fatigue and the impacts of caregiving.

Jacqueline emphasises a collaborative relationship in therapy. She listens to how a person feels and thinks about their situation, and together they aim to build clearer perspectives, practical coping strategies and gradual change. The therapeutic work focuses on exploring concerns, clarifying thoughts and developing skills to enhance emotional wellbeing.

She holds the credentials BACP and NCPS, which reflect her professional training and ongoing commitment to practice.

Approaches that guide online therapy and practical support

Jacqueline draws on several established approaches to shape online therapy in ways that fit each person's situation. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns - it helps when difficulties with trust, closeness or abandonment affect present relationships. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a respectful, non-judgmental relationship where the client’s own experience guides the work - this approach supports people seeking greater self-understanding and emotional healing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour, and is often used for stress, anxiety and mood-related concerns.

Choosing the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Jacqueline collaborates with each person to understand their goals, preferences and needs, then adapts methods as therapy progresses to find the best fit. This collaborative planning helps clients feel involved and supported in how the work unfolds.

Online therapy with Jacqueline can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities or distance. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals and therapists from different locations while keeping appointments manageable and consistent.
