About Jaqui

Jaqui Lamb works on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and life changes using an integrative, person-focused approach. She is a registered member of the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy) and has three years' experience as a therapist. She offers counselling in English in the United Kingdom.

Her background includes over 20 years in the education sector and several years practising as a counsellor. That experience shaped her practical style and her interest in issues around parenting, adoption and foster care, and attachment concerns. She also works with grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, addiction, eating and sleeping problems, and career or work-related strain.

Jaqui draws on client-centred methods and attachment-based thinking to explore patterns in relationships and how these affect mood and behaviour. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to help people name feelings and Gottman Method principles when clients want to address relationship dynamics. Existential and solution-focused elements are woven in where questions of meaning or practical steps are needed.

Sessions aim to look at current problems and the past influences that shape them, while building skills for coping and managing stress. She helps people with issues such as codependency, dissociation, domestic violence, drug and alcohol addiction, and compassion fatigue. There is also support around parenting pressures, fatherhood issues and blended family challenges.

Jaqui works collaboratively, inviting people to explain what they want to change and testing approaches that suit their daily life. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, use the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

How her approaches are used in online counselling

Jaqui combines a few established approaches to help with emotional and relationship difficulties. Attachment-based work looks at relationship patterns and how early bonds affect current connections; this can be useful for attachment issues, adoptive and foster family concerns, and relationship strain. Client-centred counselling focuses on the person's experience in the moment and aims to help people talk through feelings and decide on next steps for themselves. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and name core emotions and how these drive behaviour, which is often helpful for intimacy and relationship concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jaqui will work with the person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and she adapts the mix as those needs change. This is a collaborative process that checks progress and adjusts techniques where useful.

The biography notes she offers counselling online, face-to-face and by telephone, but readers should confirm current session options before booking. Online or telephone sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, family or travel commitments, and they can allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited. Registered or accredited professionals and counsellors often use these remote formats to reduce travel time and to make regular sessions simpler to arrange.
