About Jacqueline
Jacqueline "Jacky" Ellis is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, grief and low self-esteem. Jacky also supports those dealing with adoption-related issues and attachment concerns.
Jacky trained with a degree in counselling and uses an integrative approach. That means she draws on several ways of working to match what a person needs. She combines psychodynamic ideas about early trauma, humanistic attention to self and authenticity, and cognitive behavioural techniques to address patterns of thinking and behaviour.
Sessions are conversational and practical. Jacky helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts, try out different responses, and reflect on past experiences that shape current relationships. She also brings focus to adoption, abandonment and attachment difficulties when these are relevant.
Her background includes volunteer work at an addiction centre, where she gained direct experience supporting people with substance issues. Jacky also completed an adoption course and lists membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
People often come to her when life feels stuck after a change in work, relationships or health. Her work aims to help people clarify what matters to them, explore obstacles and build practical steps forward. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape emotional responses and current bonds. It helps when trust, abandonment or attachment issues affect relationships and sense of self. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience in the moment, offering space to talk through feelings and decisions without judgement. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and tests practical behaviour changes to reduce anxiety or break patterns that maintain distress.Finding the right combination of these approaches is part of the work. She will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together they decide which elements to use. That collaborative choice helps set realistic steps and experiments to try between sessions.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It can also let someone use video, audio or other arrangements that suit their day-to-day routine. Registered and accredited professionals often adapt their methods to the online setting to keep sessions focused and practical.
