Jacqueline Selby, BACP

Jacqueline Selby uses a person-centred style to help people find balance and make changes that matter. She brings 15 years of experience and a calm, compassionate presence to sessions. Jacqueline writes plainly and works in a respectful, non-judgemental way, aiming to tailor support to each person’s needs.

Her practice focuses on common and complex life stresses. She helps people who are struggling with anxiety, low mood and self-esteem, addictions, grief, and parenting challenges. She also supports those dealing with relationship strains, career worries, compassion fatigue, and major life changes.

Jacqueline draws on attachment-based ideas and trauma-focused thinking alongside mindfulness and motivational interviewing. In practice this means listening closely, helping people spot patterns, and trying small, practical steps to change unhelpful habits. Sessions emphasise the person’s strengths and priorities.

She has worked with people across many countries and in a wide range of situations. Jacqueline encourages a steady pace, often recommending weekly meetings at first to build momentum and review progress after a month.

Her approach is collaborative: she helps set goals, checks how strategies are working, and adjusts the plan when needed. People can expect a direct but warm style, with practical suggestions and space to reflect.

If someone is ready to begin, Jacqueline asks them to use the site process to match and schedule a session. She responds to messages during the working day and aims to make the therapy fit into everyday life.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Jacqueline combines person-centred work with attachment-based ideas and mindfulness practice. Person-centred therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship, helping people clarify what they want to change. Attachment-based ideas help identify how early relationships shape current patterns and struggles, useful for relationship worries and attachment issues.

Mindfulness offers simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and manage stress. These techniques can help with anxiety, overthinking and coping with chronic stress. In sessions she uses gentle exercises alongside conversation to test what feels helpful for each person.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jacqueline will collaborate with the person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences. She reviews progress and adjusts the plan if something is not working, so therapy stays practical and relevant.

Please confirm the session formats available before booking through the site, as options are set by the therapist's current practice. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed and let people join from different locations. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt pacing and techniques to suit each person in remote sessions.
