Jacqueline Tow, ACA

Jacqueline Tow is a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist with a background supporting people from diverse cultural backgrounds, a wide age range, and varied neurodiversity. She has considerable experience working with children, young people, and parents or carers, and has lived overseas, which informs her understanding of migration-related challenges. Jacqueline brings a trauma-informed, attachment-rich approach to her work and integrates systemic family therapy principles to consider relationships and family patterns as part of healing and growth.

Her practice is grounded in deep respect and a belief that therapy can help people better understand their own stories and how those stories shape relationships. Jacqueline offers flexibility in how many sessions a person has and emphasizes creating a space that feels safe - a place to pause, reflect, and explore next steps. Her clinical influences include person-centered and narrative therapies, systemic family therapy, psychodynamic approaches, internal family systems, solutions-focused methods, and cognitive behavioral therapy, which she draws on to tailor care to each person’s needs.

Jacqueline holds the ACA credential, indicating membership in a professional counselling association. She works from Australia and provides therapy in English for issues such as stress, anxiety, grief, parenting, self-esteem, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, communication and family of origin difficulties.

Attachment-informed and client-centered care available online

Jacqueline uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current feelings and patterns. This approach helps with difficulties in connection, trust, and closeness by identifying relational needs and building more secure ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy is also central to her work; it emphasizes the person’s own perspective and supports self-directed growth by offering empathy, respect, and nonjudgmental listening. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, when used, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for managing stress, anxiety, and low self-esteem.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jacqueline will work with each person to identify which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting techniques as therapy progresses to best support healing and practical change.

Online therapy with Jacqueline is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and consistent access to care. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain regular contact when needed, and receive support from wherever the client is located within Australia, while working with a licensed professional.
