Jacqueline Lawrence, BACP, NCPS

Jacqueline Lawrence is a conscientious and caring counsellor with 23 years of practice supporting people through difficult life moments. Her pluralistic way of working combines humanistic, cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic techniques so that sessions can be shaped to suit each person’s unique situation and stage of change. She has experience with both adults and young people and works with issues including anxiety, depression, stress, attachment difficulties, trauma and abuse, loss and bereavement, and a range of relational problems.

Jacqueline places strong emphasis on building a collaborative relationship: she listens closely to how someone feels and thinks about their concerns, and together they work to gain clearer perspective on obstacles and options for change. She aims to help clients develop practical coping strategies and personal skills that support emotional wellbeing and everyday functioning.

Jacqueline holds BACP and NCPS credentials, indicating membership of recognised professional counselling organisations. Her approach is grounded in respect, patience and thoughtful reflection, helping people explore their experiences and move toward the changes they want to make.

Therapeutic approaches for online support and change

Jacqueline draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships influence present-day patterns and emotional responses. This approach can help people understand connection, trust and how past bonds affect current relationships.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centres the conversation on the client's experience and values, giving space for self-directed insight and growth. That style is useful when someone needs a non-judgemental place to process feelings and build confidence.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another tool Jacqueline offers, focusing on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving. CBT can be especially helpful for managing anxiety, low mood and stress-related patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jacqueline works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adapting the focus as those needs change over time.

Online sessions - by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging - offer flexibility for people with busy schedules, geographical constraints or caregiving responsibilities. These options make it easier to access regular support and to continue work between sessions with the guidance of registered professionals and therapists.
