Jacqueline Selby , BACP

Jacqueline Selby is a BACP-accredited therapist with 15 years of professional experience supporting people through a wide range of emotional and life challenges. She practises with warmth, respect and a non-judgmental stance, offering compassionate support to clients seeking greater balance, confidence and wellbeing. Jacqueline draws on Person-Centred psychotherapy principles, believing that when core supportive conditions are present, people can access their own resources to make meaningful changes. (BACP stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.)

Her work has reached clients across many countries, and she has experience helping adults of all ages with issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and communication difficulties, grief and loss, low self-esteem, LGBTQI matters, addiction, parenting concerns and major life transitions. Jacqueline tailors each session and treatment plan to the individual, treating the client as the expert in their own story while offering guidance to identify unhelpful patterns and practical steps toward change.

Jacqueline is available for scheduled 45-minute phone, video or live chat sessions and typically works Monday to Thursday with earlier finishes on Fridays. She does not generally work weekends but will try to accommodate requests when possible. She checks incoming messages once in the morning and once in the afternoon and responds accordingly. Jacqueline asks that anyone in immediate crisis contact local emergency services for urgent help. If her approach feels like a good fit, she welcomes messages to discuss next steps.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Jacqueline integrates Client-Centred Therapy into her work, focusing on creating a supportive, non-judgmental relationship that helps clients explore their feelings and choices at their own pace. This approach is useful for people struggling with self-esteem, relationship issues and life transitions.

She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early and ongoing relationship patterns shape current emotional responses and interpersonal difficulties. This can help clients understand patterns of connection, abandonment and trust and support healing in relationships.

Mindfulness Therapy is incorporated to help clients develop present-moment awareness and practical skills for managing stress, anxiety and unhelpful thinking. Simple mindfulness techniques can be used alongside other approaches to build coping capacity.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Jacqueline works with clients to identify goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, adapting methods as therapy progresses so the plan fits the individual rather than the other way around.

Online therapy offers flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone appointments, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs and lifestyles. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions, fit therapy into busy days and access licensed professionals from wherever clients are located.
