About Jacqueline
Jacqueline "Jacky" Ellis is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years' experience. She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, grief and self-esteem. Jacky also lists blended family issues among her focus areas and works with matters such as adoption and attachment problems.
Jacky trained at degree level and practises using several approaches to match different needs. She draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at early trauma. She also uses humanistic perspectives to explore identity and authenticity. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used for coping strategies and symptom management.
Her background includes volunteer work at an addiction centre, which informs her understanding of substance-related problems. She has worked with people affected by mood disorders, dissociation, personality-related difficulties, grief, identity concerns and addiction-related issues. This practice experience shapes how she plans sessions and sets goals.
In sessions Jacky aims for straightforward conversation about what someone wants to change. She listens for patterns from early life and day-to-day thinking. Practical steps and reflective work can both feature, depending on what the client prefers.
People looking for help with co-parenting challenges, stepfamily tensions or loyalty conflicts in a blended household may find her areas of focus relevant. To begin she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session through the online portal.
Using attachment, client-centred and CBT approaches online
Attachment-based work pays attention to early relationships and how they shape current bonds. Online sessions can support people who want to understand loyalty conflicts, attachment wounds and how those affect stepfamily dynamics. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what someone says. It helps people find their own priorities and make sense of parenting choices or identity changes in a blended household. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and actions that keep problems going and offers practical tools for anxiety, low mood and unwanted behaviours.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit best with the client's goals and preferences. That may mean trying reflective work first and adding CBT techniques later, or combining mindfulness practices with attachment exploration.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around family schedules, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins during busy weeks. It also allows people to choose quieter surroundings, avoid being on camera when needed, or select a session length that suits a break at work. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt pace and tools to suit everyday life.
