Jacqueline Lawrence , BACP, NCPS

Jacqueline Lawrence is an experienced, conscientious, and caring counsellor with 23 years working in therapeutic practice. She adopts a pluralistic approach that blends humanistic, cognitive behavioural, psychodynamic, and other techniques so that therapy can be tailored to the particular needs of each person. Over more than two decades she has supported both adults and young people through a wide range of emotional challenges, including anxiety, depression, stress, attachment difficulties, trauma and abuse, loss and bereavement, and relational problems.

Her practice places strong emphasis on building a collaborative relationship. Jacqueline listens to how clients feel and think about their concerns, whether those issues stem from past trauma or current life circumstances, and together they work to gain clearer perspectives and practical ways to move forward. She helps clients develop skills and coping strategies aimed at improving day-to-day functioning and emotional well-being.

Jacqueline holds BACP and NCPS credentials, reflecting recognised professional training and membership in counselling organisations. She accepts clients in the United Kingdom and also works with international clients, offering sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Jacqueline aims to create a respectful and open space where clients can explore their experiences and pursue meaningful change.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Jacqueline commonly works with Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current connections and helps people understand patterns in close relationships. Client-Centered Therapy places the client at the heart of the work, using empathy and non-judgmental listening to support self-exploration and personal growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical strategies for issues like anxiety, low mood, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jacqueline will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most comfortable, and will adapt methods as therapy progresses so the work stays relevant to the client’s needs.

Online therapy with Jacqueline is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and circumstances. These options make it easier to access regular therapy without travel, to fit sessions around work or family commitments, and to continue care when life circumstances change, while still working with licensed professionals who tailor treatment to each person.
