Jacqueline John, BACP

Jacqueline John is a counsellor with 36 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain and big life changes. She meets people where they are and aims to make that first step feel manageable. Jacqueline works remotely under UK law and offers support for grief, self-esteem, addiction, trauma and related concerns including intimacy and parenting difficulties.

She draws on several approaches and adapts them to each person’s needs. Sessions focus on what matters now and how past experiences affect present choices. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at helping people notice patterns, try new ways of coping and build clearer priorities.

Jacqueline is a counselling member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and works within its ethical framework. Her background includes private practice and work with charities and organisations across different communities and cultures.

In practice she combines elements from cognitive and relational approaches to suit the individual. That might mean looking at thoughts and behaviours, attending to attachment patterns, or focusing on values and committed action. Discussion of short-term and longer-term options happens in the first session to set expectations.

She is based in London and works remotely and internationally under UK law. Jacqueline aims to respond to enquiries promptly and is not available at weekends or on bank holidays.

How Jacqueline’s approaches translate to online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice what matters to them and take small, value-led steps. It is often useful when someone feels stuck with anxiety, depression or decisions about work and relationships. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current patterns and helps people rewrite those patterns over time, which can be helpful for intimacy and family issues. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviours to reduce distress and build practical coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jacqueline will discuss options with each person and try to match methods to their goals, preferences and life circumstances. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as progress is made.

The biography states she works remotely and internationally under UK law, but does not list specific session formats. Please confirm the exact session types available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, reduce travel time and permit shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also allow people to attend from different locations if travel would be difficult, and can help maintain continuity of care when circumstances change.
