About Jacqueline

Jacqueline Isles works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting difficulties, depression, grief, trauma and related issues using a non-directive approach that follows the client's lead. She is BACP registered and has 18 years' experience in counselling.

Jacqueline uses a client-centred way of working where the person is treated as the expert in their own life. Sessions focus on talking through what is causing distress and on making sense of past events that continue to affect current relationships. She offers both short-term and long-term work depending on each client's needs.

Her background includes an MA in counselling and specialisation in marriage and family matters. She is also qualified to run parenting courses, including Webster-Stratton Incredible Years and enhancing adoptive parenting programmes. These practical skills are used alongside talking therapies when parenting support is needed.

In sessions Jacqueline follows a psychodynamic perspective to help people understand patterns from their past that affect present feelings and behaviour. That work is combined with client-centred counselling to keep the focus on the client's priorities and choices. Together these approaches aim to help people reduce anxiety, manage mood changes, and improve relationships.

She works with adults and with families, including specific parenting support and courses. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted. To start, people use the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

How her approaches guide online counselling

Client-centred therapy places the person's experience first and focuses on listening, reflection and supporting choices. This approach helps when someone wants to be heard, to clarify feelings, or to make decisions about relationships and parenting.

Psychodynamic therapy looks at how past experiences and patterns affect current feelings and behaviour. It can help people understand recurring difficulties, grief, trauma responses and how these influence relationships and mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jacqueline will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and they will agree together which methods to use. That collaborative process means the style of sessions can change as progress is made.

The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life, for example by avoiding travel, fitting a session into a work break, or choosing a shorter check-in when time is limited. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt session length and focus to suit practical constraints and personal needs.
