Jacqueline Selby is a counsellor who draws on 15 years working in mental health. She lists membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has supported people with anxiety, low mood, addiction and grief, and those coping with life changes and parenting demands.
Her main style is person-centred counselling, which focuses on the client’s perspective and strengths. She also uses attachment-informed ideas and trauma-focused work when relevant. Sessions aim to identify unhelpful patterns and to try practical steps that can reduce distress.

Jacqueline notes she has worked with people in many countries and that international clients are accepted. Fees vary by location and sessions use a cancellable subscription model. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the See online counselling options button.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Jacqueline combines person-centred counselling with attachment-informed and trauma-focused work. Person-centred counselling emphasises the client’s experience and builds on strengths to address issues like low mood, anxiety and self-esteem. Attachment-informed work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current responses and can help with communication and relationship patterns. Trauma-focused methods aim to stabilise distress and reduce the hold of past traumatic events so daily functioning improves.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jacqueline will work collaboratively to identify which methods suit the client’s goals and preferences. She reviews progress and adjusts the focus over time, so the plan can change as needs become clearer.
The biography indicates she offers live phone, video or chat sessions; please confirm current session options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a working week and to maintain regular contact while travelling or living abroad. Phone sessions can suit shorter check-ins or times with lower bandwidth, while video allows face-to-face interaction when preferred. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to help clients manage stress, grief, addiction and relationship concerns without rearranging daily commitments.
