About Jill

Jill Malcolm is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, and issues around self-esteem and motivation. Jill also lists support for blended family issues among her areas of focus.

She prefers straightforward, conversational sessions. Clients can expect to talk through current problems and practical ways to manage them. Jill uses Mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas alongside a client-centred stance to help people notice what matters to them and take small steps towards it.

Jill pays attention to attachment patterns and how they affect relationships. That can be useful when someone is adjusting to a new partner, becoming a stepparent, or merging households. She will explore patterns of communication, loyalty concerns and everyday routines that cause tension.

Sessions are built around the client's priorities. Jill listens for what is getting in the way and works with clients to try out new approaches between meetings. She uses mindfulness exercises and values-based tasks to support change in daily life.

Her experience includes working with grief, eating and body image issues, ADHD and coping with life changes. She also lists areas such as addiction, divorce and attachment difficulties among the topics she addresses. This practical focus aims to help people handle immediate pressures and plan manageable next steps.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small, practical steps toward those values. Online work with ACT often uses straightforward exercises and short between-session tasks to build momentum. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relational patterns and how early attachment affects present-day responses; online discussions can map relationship triggers and rehearse new ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jill will collaborate with the client to decide which methods suit their situation and preferences. She checks in about what is helpful and may adjust techniques as needs change so the approach fits the person's goals.

The practical benefit of online sessions is that they can fit into daily life more easily. Confirm the session formats before booking as the biography did not list them. Online meetings can make it simpler to have shorter check-ins, manage quieter surroundings, avoid travel, or use audio only when bandwidth is limited. Registered or accredited professionals can offer these options to help therapy fit around work, family and blended household routines.
