About Jacqueline
Jacqueline John is a counsellor with 36 years of experience who aims to make first contact easier for people under stress. She speaks plainly and listens with patience. Jacqui offers support for common concerns such as anxiety, low mood, relationship strain and grief.
She uses a narrative-informed outlook, helping people tell and reshape the stories that influence their feelings and choices. Sessions also draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas when these fit the person's needs.
Background and approach
Practical tools from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and a client-centred stance are available too. Jacqui works remotely and accepts clients in the United Kingdom and internationally. She is a counselling member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and follows their ethical framework.
She offers both shorter contracts and longer-term work, depending on what someone prefers. In sessions she encourages clear talk about current difficulties and past influences. She helps people notice patterns, test different meanings, and try small changes in everyday life.
Many sessions focus on improving communication, managing stress, and rebuilding a sense of control after loss or upheaval. Practical arrangements are simple to discuss in an initial meeting. She is not available at weekends or on bank holidays but aims to reply to enquiries within 24 hours.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

Online session options
Approaches in online therapy and how they help
Jacqui commonly uses Narrative Therapy to help people examine and reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships, which can ease feelings of shame, guilt or stuckness. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is also used to help people notice painful thoughts and make values-based choices instead of being led by those thoughts. Attachment-Based Therapy ideas guide work on how early relating patterns influence current bonds and communication.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative step. Jacqui will talk through options and adapt methods to someone’s goals, preferences and what turns out to be most useful in practice. The shape of therapy can change over time as needs shift.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video helps with face-to-face interaction, phone may suit lower bandwidth or a brief check-in, and messaging allows short, flexible contact between meetings. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work and family life and to keep continuity when travel or location change would otherwise interrupt care.
