About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Isles is a BACP counsellor with 18 years' experience supporting people through family and parenting challenges. She describes a non-directive style and encourages clients to lead sessions. She works with adults, children, families and couples, and offers both short-term and longer-term support tailored to each situation.
Jacqueline trained to deliver parenting courses including Webster-Stratton Incredible Years and enhancing adoptive parenting. She frames her work around what matters most to the client, focusing on practical steps and understanding how past experiences affect current relationships. Conversations aim to reduce distress and make everyday interactions easier.
Her approach is gentle and respectful. She listens without judgement and helps people sort through painful memories or recurring patterns. When relationship difficulties or anxiety are linked to earlier events, she helps clients pay attention to how those patterns show up now.
Sessions can cover a wide range of concerns, from grief and anger to stress, depression and ADHD-related difficulties. Jacqueline also supports people facing compassion fatigue, parenting strain and issues linked to sexual orientation. She offers a calm setting for talking through what feels overwhelming.
Practical tools and reflective conversation are woven together in her work. Clients can expect a focus on what they want to change and steps to try between sessions. The aim is to help people regain more ease in family life and feel clearer about next steps.
How Jacqueline’s approaches guide online work
Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens, reflects and follows what the client brings. This approach tends to suit people who want an empathic space to make sense of feelings and decide on next steps.Psychodynamic Therapy focuses on how past experiences shape current patterns. It uses conversation to uncover recurring themes that affect relationships and mood. This approach can help when problems keep repeating or when early experiences still feel influential.
Jacqueline treats choosing an approach as a joint process. She will talk through the options and decide together which way of working feels most useful for the client's goals and preferences. Changes can be made along the way if something does not fit.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow a quieter check-in or shorter sessions when that suits, and means reflection can continue even when attending in person is difficult.
