Online and In-Person Integrative Counselling for Individuals and Couples
" A safe, compassionate and respectful space where you can find support through life’s difficult moments."
About Me
Hello my name is Jacqueline and a warm welcome to my website.
I am an experienced, insured Counsellor, Psychotherapist and Grief Educator. A Member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP) and a Member of the Association of Counselling and Therapy Online.
My own experiences with loss and personal change deeply shaped my understanding of what it means to struggle—and what it takes to heal.
These experiences led me to re-train in counselling, where I now support others to navigate their own challenges with compassion, care, honesty and respect.
Based in Aldershot Hampshire, I offer individuals and couples in-person counselling in Farnham and Farnborough and online therapy across the UK, making counselling and therapy sessions near to you wherever you are.
I support individuals and couples who are struggling with different aspects of their life causing them to feel overwhelmed or distressed including:
- Grief, Bereavement, Loss and Endings, Anticipatory Grief
- Life Transitions
- Relationship issues
- Work Issues
- Low Self-Esteem. Low Confidence, Perfectionism
- Traumatic Experiences
- Uncertainty, Anxiety, Stress
- Parenting
- Family Conflict, Family Dynamics
- Chronic Illness
- Depression
- Anger Issues
- Adverse Childhood Experiences
How I work and what I offer
- What is my approach?
My therapeutic approach is integrative with a relational lens this means that I place a strong emphasis on the relationship between us believing it to be a key part of the therapeutic process and I draw from a range of approaches to meet each client’s unique needs.
- What can you offer me?
I can offer you a confidential space that is warm, compassionate, collaborative, honest and respectful, helping you to feel safe to explore whatever brings you to therapy.
- How will you work with me?
I will work with you to gradually build resilience, decrease feelings of overwhelm, increase self-awareness and support you to navigate both everyday stresses and significant life transitions.
I will encourage you to explore your thoughts, feelings and emotions, to set meaningful goals , challenge unhelpful patterns, and embrace new perspectives leading not only to healing but also to a renewed sense of hope and possibility for the future.

Couples Therapy
It is normal for couple relationships to go through different life stages and each stage can bring its own challenges.
As a trained Integrative Couples Counsellor, I support couples in identifying challenges within their relationships as potential areas for understanding and growth. The process involves learning communication strategies that aim to foster curiosity and support, rather than conflict. There is a focus on recognising how individual differences contribute to personal development, as well as acknowledging strengths within the relationship and addressing problematic areas with increased awareness.
Couples counselling may produce outcomes such as enhanced communication, greater relationship satisfaction, and better recognition of their own individual needs as well as their partners. It can facilitate more effective conflict resolution and strengthen emotional and physical connections.
Ultimately my aim is to support couples in developing a more satisfying, positive and sustainable relationship, whether they continue together or choose to separate with mutual understanding and respect.

Background
Before training as a therapist, I spent many years working in community support, education, pastoral care, and youth work —supporting people of all ages through emotional, social, and academic challenges.
These experiences gave me deep insight into how people cope with distress, connection, change and uncertainty and shaped my belief in the importance of empathy, integrity, and presence in any helping relationship.
