How core approaches guide online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and following the person’s agenda. It aims to give people space to talk through worries and make decisions for themselves, which can help with anxiety, relationship issues and parenting stress.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that come from earlier experiences and how they turn up in current relationships. It can help make sense of recurring conflicts, emotional reactions and difficulties that feel hard to shift.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jacqueline will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and she will adapt sessions as understanding grows. The process is collaborative and paced to the client’s needs.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm the available session types before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need quieter surroundings. Ask about practical arrangements when you schedule to make sure the format works for you.
