About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Selby draws on 15 years of clinical experience and a person-centred approach to help people feel heard and understood. She is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on practical, steady support for common worries like anxiety, stress and low mood. Jacqueline keeps language simple and sessions focused on small, achievable steps.
Her work often centres on building a reliable, non-judgemental relationship. Jacqueline listens first and helps people identify strengths they can use to move forward.
Background and approach
Sessions are tailored to what each person needs, whether that means gentle reflection, practical coping strategies, or exploring patterns that repeat. She has supported people with a wide range of concerns including grief, parenting pressures, addiction, compassion fatigue and career uncertainty. Jacqueline also works with issues such as body image, attachment difficulties, autism and chronic illness.
Her background includes international experience and a long history of helping people adapt to life changes. Jacqueline uses approaches that include attachment-based work, client-centred methods, mindfulness and trauma-focused techniques. These tools are chosen to suit the person in front of her rather than following a single formula.
She encourages small experiments between sessions so clients can test what helps in everyday life. Taking a first step can feel hard and Jacqueline aims to make that process straightforward. New clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then book sessions that fit their routine.
She offers a calm, steady presence while people work through practical problems and emotional strain.

Online support
Client-centred therapy places the person and their choices at the centre of each session. This approach involves reflective listening, gentle questions and supporting clients to find their own solutions for issues like low self-esteem or life changes.
Jacqueline will work with clients to choose the best approach together. She sees deciding on methods as a shared process that reflects each person's goals and preferences. If things need to change, she adapts the plan so therapy remains practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit short breaks at work or require less bandwidth, chat and messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep continuity when travel or relocations occur.
