How Jacqueline uses therapeutic approaches online
Jacqueline draws on person-centred principles and attachment-based ideas to help people feel heard and build stronger ways of relating. Person-centred work focuses on listening closely and offering acceptance so people can explore what matters to them. Attachment-based ideas look at relationship patterns and help people understand how past bonds influence present reactions.She also integrates mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques. Mindfulness practice helps reduce overthinking and manage stress by bringing attention to the present moment. Motivational interviewing supports change by helping people find their own reasons and small steps to move forward.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process, and Jacqueline will work collaboratively to choose what fits best. She discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts methods as progress unfolds.
Please confirm current session options before booking, as the profile does not list specific formats here. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter or longer check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who need quieter surroundings or prefer not to be on camera during certain sessions.
