My Approach
I work relationally which means I believe the relationship we form as client and therapist is extremely important. Working together, we can try to understand and resolve your challenges in a safe and judgement-free space where you will be respected and valued.
I can help you to explore the impact some of your earliest relationships may have had on your life and your relationships with others. I aim to support you with warmth and empathy and believe that everyone is capable of change and growth.
I understand how important it is to have feelings of self-acceptance and self-worth, and how shame and other difficult experiences can rob us of these qualities. I can offer you support around these issues and other events and relationships which may have hurt you in the past or that you are currently struggling with.
Practicalities
Session details: After the initial session, and if we agree to work together, we will arrange a regular time to meet. This is usually at the same time each week, and each therapy session lasts for 50 minutes.
Client Testimonials
“My sessions with Jacqueline over the last three years have been incredibly helpful. Her warm, relational and patient approach helped me feel comfortable to share and process my feelings. We worked through a number of issues related to identity, self esteem and past trauma.
She supported me to shift my perspectives and thought patterns which empowered me to understand myself, my strengths and my values. This has allowed me to take steps to be more present, self compassionate and joyful in my life. My relationship with myself and others has also improved.
Jacqueline's knowledge and insights have been invaluable and I would highly recommend her as a therapist."
