Jacqueline Lawrence, BACP, NCPS

Jacqueline Lawrence is a counsellor with 23 years of experience who supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She also helps those dealing with parenting pressures, caregiver stress and compassion fatigue. Jacqueline works with people affected by trauma and abuse and with complex family and attachment issues. She uses a down-to-earth, collaborative style and listens to what matters most to each person.

Jacqueline combines ideas from different therapeutic approaches so the work fits the person. She draws on attachment-focused thinking to look at how early relationships shape current feelings. She uses client-centred skills to create a calm space for people to talk. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy ideas help with practical ways to manage anxiety and low mood.

In sessions she focuses on building a working relationship. She hears how people feel and thinks alongside them about steps forward. That can mean learning new coping skills, trying small behaviour changes or looking back at patterns that keep causing pain.

Jacqueline has worked with adults and young people on issues such as loss, bereavement, dissociation, domestic violence and divorce. She also supports people struggling with commitment and communication problems, codependency and blended family tensions.

Her professional credentials include BACP and NCPS. She practises in the United Kingdom and works in English. For international clients she accepts referrals and remote arrangements can be discussed through the service.

Jacqueline encourages people to take small steps. The therapy process is shaped around the person’s goals, whether that is managing daily stress or working through deep-seated hurts.

How Jacqueline’s approaches translate to online work

Jacqueline draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current feelings and patterns. This helps when someone wants to understand why they repeat certain relationship behaviours or feel unsafe in close connections. She also uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening deeply and reflecting back what a person is experiencing to build trust and clarity. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) ideas are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical steps to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right mix of methods is a joint process. Jacqueline will work with the person to choose approaches that fit their goals and preferences. Sessions often start by talking about what matters most and agreeing small steps to try between meetings.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also be useful when someone needs to manage energy or physical limits while still getting regular therapeutic support. Registered or accredited professionals can help adapt exercises and pacing so the work suits everyday routines.
