About Jacqueline
BACP, MA counselling, with 18 years' experience. Jacqueline Isles works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting difficulties, grief, anger, trauma and abuse, ADHD and bipolar. She describes her approach as non-directive and client-centred, following the client's lead in sessions.
Jacqueline trained to a master's level in counselling and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has a specialism in marriage and family, and she is qualified to deliver parenting courses including Webster-Stratton Incredible Years and enhancing adoptive parenting.
Her counselling style draws on client-centred principles and psychodynamic ideas. In practice this means listening to what matters most to the person, reflecting on patterns from the past, and helping people make sense of how those patterns affect current relationships and feelings.
Sessions are conducted in a non-directive manner where the client sets the pace and topics. Jacqueline aims to help people talk through distressing events, manage symptoms such as anxiety or low mood, and work on relationship or parenting challenges. Her work covers both short-term and longer-term counselling depending on need.
She offers therapy in English and accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, select the See online counselling options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How her approaches shape online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what the person brings. It helps when someone needs time to be heard and to set the pace for what they want to work on. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns from the past and how those patterns appear in current relationships and feelings; it can be useful for lingering issues and relationship difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jacqueline will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt the balance between client-centred listening and psychodynamic reflection. This is a collaborative process based on the person's needs, goals and preferences.
The practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions more easily around work, school and family life and reducing travel time. If you need more detail about session formats and how they run, confirm the current options before booking.
