Jacqui 

Individual & Couples Counsellor | Registered Member MBACP
 
As a qualified integrative counsellor with experience supporting both individuals and couples, I bring empathy, warmth, and professionalism to every therapeutic relationship. My own personal journey through loss and grief led me to explore counselling more deeply—both as a means of healing and as a way to support others in finding their own paths through difficult emotions.
 
Over the past four years, I have worked with clients across a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, bereavement, trauma, low self-esteem, self-harm, stress, and relationship difficulties. For the past three years, I’ve had the privilege of working closely with both young people and adults, creating a safe, non-judgemental space where clients feel free to explore what matters most to them.
 
I believe that everyone deserves a place to be truly heard. My approach is collaborative and compassionate—designed to help clients gain deeper insight, process emotional pain, resolve inner and relational conflict, and identify meaningful strategies for positive, lasting change.
 
Alongside individual therapy, I work with couples using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), a powerful, evidence-based model rooted in the science of attachment. EFT helps couples identify and shift unhelpful patterns of interaction, build secure emotional bonds, and communicate with more openness and understanding.
 
What inspires me most about this work is witnessing the transformation that can happen when people feel safe enough to open up—when a sense of hope replaces heaviness, and when couples begin to reconnect with empathy and trust. It’s a privilege to walk alongside people during these moments of growth and rediscovery.
