About Jaquiline
Jaquiline "Jaqui" Clarke is an AASW social worker who uses narrative and acceptance-based approaches to help people make sense of hard moments. She brings a warm, straightforward style to sessions and aims to help people find useful ways to manage stress, anxiety and life changes.
Jaqui draws on a Bachelor of Education (Primary) and a Master of Social Work (Qualifying) completed in 2018 at Federation University. That background means she often explains wellbeing information in clear, practical terms.
Background and approach
She has around five years of experience as a social worker and additional experience from earlier roles in mental health. Her work has included supporting people with mood concerns such as depression and bipolar, anxiety, and trauma-related problems.
She has also worked with people who have experienced psychosis and personality disorder presentations, and with issues like addictions, sleep and eating difficulties, and workplace stress. In her approach Jaqui uses narrative therapy to help people reframe stories they tell about themselves. She combines this with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and motivational interviewing to support values-based change and practical steps.
Her manner is warm, honest and focused on strengths. Jaqui provides online counselling in Australia and aims to make sessions collaborative. She welcomes feedback during and after sessions and helps people set realistic goals such as managing overwhelm, improving sleep, or reducing unhelpful habits.

Online session options
How narrative and acceptance-based work translate online
Jaqui commonly draws on Narrative Therapy to help people rewrite stories that keep them stuck. This approach looks at how language and life events shape identity and helps people build alternative, more helpful narratives. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is also central to her work and focuses on clarifying values and committing to small, meaningful actions that fit those values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life transitions.Finding the right approach is a shared process. Jaqui will discuss different ways of working and tailor methods to a person's goals, needs and preferences. Sessions are collaborative and she invites feedback so the approach can change as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different lifestyles. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared exercises, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, and messaging works well for check-ins or brief coaching between sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, parenting and other commitments while keeping continuity of care.
