Jacqueline Lawrence, BACP, NCPS

Jacqueline Lawrence is a counsellor with 23 years of clinical experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem, trauma and abuse, parenting strains, career changes, compassion fatigue and other life shifts. Jacqueline works in English and accepts international clients.

She uses a pluralistic style that blends approaches to suit each person. Sessions focus on listening, making sense of difficulties and finding practical ways forward. The aim is to help people feel clearer and more capable in day-to-day life.

Jacqueline draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Psychodynamic ideas are used to consider deeper, often unconscious patterns, and solution-focused methods help set achievable goals.

Her way of working is collaborative and straightforward. She pays attention to how clients feel and think about their problems and works with them to build coping skills. Sessions are paced to what each person needs and to what feels manageable.

Jacqueline is registered with BACP and NCPS, and brings over two decades of practice to her work. She aims to help clients develop greater understanding, practical skills and a clearer path through challenging times.

How her approaches work online

Jacqueline commonly uses attachment-based work to look at how early relationship patterns affect current feelings and behaviour; this can help with trust, communication issues and repeated relational difficulties. She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try out small behavioural changes that reduce anxiety and low mood. Solution-focused techniques are used to set short-term, practical goals and notice small changes that make life feel more manageable.

Finding the right approach is treated as a joint task. Jacqueline will discuss options and adapt methods to match a client's needs, goals and preferences rather than sticking to a single method. This collaborative process helps shape sessions so they feel relevant and useful.

If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats are currently offered before booking, since the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow quicker check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Some formats may also suit quieter, shorter conversations or people who prefer not to use video, so it is worth confirming practical options when you arrange your first session.
