About Jacqueline

Jacqueline Lawrence works on stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, self-esteem and related concerns using a pluralistic approach that blends several methods. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and holds NCPS recognition, with 23 years' experience in counselling.

Jacqueline draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current reactions. She also uses client-centred listening to help people feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when people want concrete ways to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviour.

Sessions focus on a collaborative relationship. Jacqueline listens to how someone feels and thinks about their difficulties, and then they agree next steps together. The work can address past trauma or present challenges, depending on the person’s priorities.

She has experience with a wide range of issues including trauma and abuse, loss and bereavement, family and relationship problems, parenting concerns, workplace stress, and compassion fatigue. Additional areas she supports include attachment wounds, adoption and foster care questions, codependency and communication problems.

In practice she aims to help people gain clearer perspectives and develop practical coping strategies. That can mean practising new ways of relating, trying behavioural experiments, or simply making sense of difficult experiences. Sessions are practical and conversational, with an emphasis on what the person wants to work on next.

Approaches used in online sessions and practical notes

Jacqueline commonly uses attachment-based work to look at how earlier relationships shape current patterns of relating, which can help with recurring relationship problems and attachment concerns. She also draws on client-centred counselling, which focuses on listening and reflecting so the person can make sense of their feelings and decide what to change. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is used for people who want practical techniques to modify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and to build coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jacqueline will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals, needs and preferences, and this can change over time as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Different methods suit different sessions - for example, CBT work can be useful for focused, task-oriented meetings, while attachment-based and client-centred conversations often benefit from longer sessions that allow exploration and reflection.
