Jacqueline O'Neill, BACP

Jacqueline O'Neill is a UK-licensed therapist with 9 years of professional experience who supports people working through stress, anxiety, grief and loss, motivation challenges, self-esteem and confidence difficulties, and depression. She has worked with clients of all ages and pays particular attention to caregiver stress, first responder concerns, recovery after natural or human-caused disaster, women’s issues, and young adult transitions.

Jacqueline holds BACP accreditation, which indicates membership in the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. Her practice is grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a strengths-focused perspective. She views each person as the expert in their own story and builds on existing strengths to support practical change.

Jacqueline emphasizes that beginning therapy is a courageous step and seeks to create a collaborative environment where clients can explore goals and develop skills for coping with life changes. She thanks clients for trusting her to accompany them on the process of learning new ways to manage challenges and to work toward the changes they want to make.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Support

Jacqueline uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the client’s needs. She draws on cognitive approaches that help people identify and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns, a method often used to address anxiety and low mood. She also employs practical skills-based strategies that teach stress management, emotion regulation, and confidence-building tools to help with day-to-day coping. For those facing loss or major life transitions, she offers focused grief support to help process emotions and adapt to change.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. Jacqueline collaborates with each client to explore which methods feel most helpful, adjusting techniques based on the client’s goals, preferences, and life circumstances so therapy fits the person, not the other way around.

Online therapy with Jacqueline is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and lifestyles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, caregiving, or other commitments, and they allow clients to choose the format that best supports their participation and progress.
