Jacqueline Selby offers a warm, person-centred counselling style that aims to help people feel heard and supported. She draws on 15 years of experience and a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) credential to guide people through stress, anxiety, low mood and major life changes. Jacqueline writes plainly and works collaboratively with each person to set practical goals.

She focuses on everyday worries as well as deeper issues such as grief, addictions, self-esteem and parenting strain.

Background and approach

Jacqueline also supports people navigating LGBT matters, career concerns and compassion fatigue. Her approach treats the person as the expert in their own life while offering steady, empathic guidance. Sessions are adapted to individual needs and may include exploring attachment patterns, using mindfulness to reduce anxiety, or motivational techniques to address change.

She aims to help people spot unhelpful patterns and try small experiments that can lead to real shifts over time. Jacqueline has worked with people in many countries and combines lived experience with clinical practice to make therapy practical and relevant. She explains things simply and checks in regularly about progress.

Many people appreciate the calm, non-judgemental tone she brings to sessions. Her practice operates from the United Kingdom and sessions are offered in English. People can meet via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.

How Jacqueline’s approaches shape online care

Jacqueline uses a person-centred way of working that focuses on the person’s own experience and priorities. This approach helps people feel understood and guides how sessions are paced and shaped to individual needs.

She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. This can help when someone struggles with trust, communication or repeating unhelpful relationship cycles. Mindfulness techniques are offered to manage anxiety and stress through grounding exercises and simple attention practices that can be used between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Jacqueline discusses goals and preferences early on and adjusts methods as therapy progresses. She works collaboratively so clients can try different techniques and keep what helps most.

Online sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video is useful for in-depth conversations, phone works well for lower bandwidth or a quieter check-in, and text options suit shorter updates or days when writing feels easier. These options make it easier to sustain regular appointments and to fit therapy around work, family or travel.
