How her approaches shape online sessions
Jacqui commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Internal Family Systems in her work. ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and learn small actions that align with those values, which can be useful for anxiety, depression and life purpose questions. Internal Family Systems looks at different parts of a person’s inner experience and how they relate, which can help with attachment issues, self-criticism and difficult relationship patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jacqui collaborates with clients to decide which methods fit best. She listens to goals and preferences and adjusts the mix of reflection, skills practice and creative exercises accordingly.
The original biography did 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, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or offer ways to use art-based exercises without travelling to a clinic. The focus is on practical, usable steps and reflective conversation that fit into everyday life.
