About JacquelineJacqui
Jacqueline "Jacqui" Mancuso is a PACFA counsellor with 14 years working in community settings. She has supported people through relationship strain, grief, anxiety, depression and life changes. Jacqui aims to provide a calm, responsive space where people can be heard and start to unpick difficult patterns.
Her style is gentle and flexible. She follows the pace people set and uses practical steps when those are needed. Some clients come wanting to change habits, others to make sense of painful events, and some simply need someone to witness what they are going through.
Jacqui draws on Client-Centred Therapy to keep the focus on each person’s experience. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters to them and take values-based action. Attachment-based ideas and Internal Family Systems inform how she works with relationship patterns and inner parts.
She has a long history in women’s health, sexual assault and domestic violence support, military-related issues, disability and chronic health settings, and work with carers and students. That background informs practical ways to manage compassion fatigue, caregiver stress and ongoing health challenges.
Creative approaches are available when people request them, and Jacqui honours each person’s comfort and preferences about the work. If someone is ready to try a different path, she supports step-by-step change while keeping the person’s lead in view.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Jacqui uses Client-Centred Therapy to keep the conversation focused on what matters to the person, helping them feel heard and understood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify values and encourage small, meaningful steps even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. Attachment-based ideas help identify patterns in relationships and how those patterns affect day-to-day connection and trust.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jacqui collaborates with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and comfort level. Therapy is shaped together, so the plan can change as needs and insights evolve.
Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so please confirm the available options when booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or medical appointments, and it can reduce travel time. Some session styles also allow shorter check-ins or audio-only conversations if that better suits someone’s routine or bandwidth. Talk with the therapist about what would work best for everyday life and scheduling.
