It's still early in my journey but Jacqueline is very empathetic, and has a deep understanding of the complexities of the challenges I'm facing including neurodiversity. I'm very grateful that I have her support

I’ve been speaking with Jacqueline for about 6 months now and I am so grateful that I got matched with her. She takes the time to listen, to help me think in a better way and is always reaching out to check that everything is good. I was in a very dark and scary place but with Jacqueline’s help, I’m happy to say I’m out of that. I would highly recommend Jacqueline to everyone!!!

Hi, my name is Jackie. Welcome to my page.

I understand how challenging it can be to reach out for the help and support you need. Having been on your side of the counselling room, I empathize deeply with your feelings.

My personal experiences with childhood trauma, sexual abuse, rape, domestic violence, addictions, and loss have given me a profound understanding of their impacts. These experiences enable me to genuinely empathize with you and comprehend the difficulty in trusting someone.

As a Person-Centred Integrative Counsellor, my approach focuses on you rather than positioning myself as the expert. My aim is to help you find new awareness, understanding, and resolutions to your issues. Person-Centred Counselling emphasizes building a trusting, genuine, and non-judgmental relationship, creating a safe environment for you. Integrative Counselling considers you as an individual, incorporating elements from various approaches to help you explore and cope with your issues.

I look forward to meeting you and supporting you on your journey.

Warm regards,

Jackie

About online counseling

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
