About Jacqueline Leydon
Jacqueline Leydon combines professional training with lived experience to support people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties and a wide range of life challenges. She draws on personal experience of ADHD, autism, childhood trauma, sexual abuse, rape, domestic violence, addictions and bereavement to inform a deeply empathetic approach and an appreciation for how hard it can be to trust someone in therapy.
Working as a Person-Centred Integrative Counsellor, Jacqueline places the client at the centre of the therapeutic process rather than positioning herself as the sole expert. Her practice emphasises genuine, non-judgmental listening and the development of new awareness, understanding and practical ways to address problems. The integrative element allows her to combine ideas and techniques from different therapeutic models so that support is tailored to each person’s needs and circumstances.
Jacqueline holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - reflecting her professional affiliation. She aims to offer steady, respectful support as clients explore issues such as trauma and abuse, addiction, parenting and attachment concerns, self-esteem and coping with major life changes. Jacqueline seeks to create a space where people can move toward clarity and practical resolution at a pace that feels right for them.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful patterns of thinking and take steps toward values-based action. It is often used for anxiety, stress and difficulties that involve avoidance or getting stuck in unwanted thoughts. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships influence current ways of connecting with others and can be helpful for attachment issues, abandonment fears, relationship struggles and some intimacy-related concerns. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises empathic listening and the therapeutic relationship, giving clients space to explore feelings, build self-understanding and work through issues such as low self-esteem, grief or life transitions.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is handled collaboratively; registered professionals and therapists work with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences rather than applying a single model to everyone.
Online therapy with Jacqueline uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving or other commitments and can allow people to engage in therapy from their own chosen environment while maintaining continuity of care.
