About Jacqueline Selby
Jacqueline Selby is a BACP-registered therapist with 15 years of experience supporting people through a wide range of life challenges. She brings a warm, respectful and non-judgmental manner to her work, offering compassionate support and practical guidance to help clients move toward greater balance and wellbeing. BACP refers to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the UK body for counselling professionals, and Jacqueline’s registration reflects her training and commitment to professional standards.
Her practice is grounded in a person-centred approach that emphasises the client’s own strengths and capacity for change. Jacqueline tailors sessions and treatment plans to each person’s unique needs, working collaboratively to identify priorities, notice unhelpful patterns and set achievable steps for progress. Over the course of her career she has supported hundreds of people across more than 50 countries, addressing issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, self-esteem, grief, parenting concerns, addictions and challenges related to identity and life transitions.
Jacqueline encourages a steady, solution-focused rhythm at the start of therapy, often recommending weekly sessions for the first month to establish momentum and review progress. She offers appointments by phone, video, live chat or messaging and aims to be responsive to messages during standard weekday hours. This service is not appropriate for people in immediate crisis - in such situations she advises contacting local emergency services. If Jacqueline seems like a good fit, she welcomes initial messages to answer questions and discuss next steps.

Approaches Jacqueline Uses in Online Therapy
Jacqueline draws on client-centred therapy, attachment-based work and mindfulness practices to support people in online sessions. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping clients access their own resources for change - it is well suited to issues like low self-esteem, depression and relationship concerns. Attachment-based therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships and how they influence current connections and coping - this can help with relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns and attachment issues. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of thoughts and feelings, offering practical tools for managing stress, anxiety and emotional overwhelm.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Jacqueline approaches this collaboratively. She will discuss goals, preferences and needs with each client and adapt techniques over time so therapy feels like a genuine partnership between the client and the therapist.
Online therapy with Jacqueline is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people with busy schedules or those living at a distance. These options make it easier to fit regular sessions into daily life and to maintain continuity of care even when circumstances change, while allowing registered professionals to deliver focused, goal-oriented support.
