About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Isles is a BACP counsellor with 18 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She offers a calm, non-directive space where adults can talk through relationship and life stresses. Jacqueline works from the view that each person knows their life best and follows the client's lead in sessions.
Her practice covers a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, grief, anger and trauma. Jacqueline also supports people facing parenting challenges, family conflict, bipolar mood issues, ADHD and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
She works with matters linked to LGBT identities and the pressures those can bring. Jacqueline uses client-centred ways of working to listen and respond to what matters most to each person. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at past patterns that may be affecting current relationships and feelings.
Sessions aim to help people understand unhelpful cycles and find practical ways to cope day to day. Her style is steady and warm. Jacqueline prefers to follow the client's pace rather than direct the conversation.
That approach fits people who want a reflective, listening space and those who need help sorting through strong emotions. Practical help can include talking through difficult memories, improving communication with a partner or family member, and developing coping steps for stress and mood shifts. People who choose Jacqueline can expect a thoughtful, person-focused process that works with their goals and preferences.

How client‑centred and psychodynamic work translate online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person brings to the session. The therapist offers empathy and reflection, helping people to clarify their feelings and make choices that fit their life. This approach can help with low mood, stress and relationship worries.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that started in the past and still affect current feelings and connections. It involves gently exploring memories and relationships to make sense of repeating cycles and emotional reactions. This can be useful for understanding long-standing issues and trauma.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jacqueline will work with each person to decide what feels most helpful based on their needs, goals and preferences. The plan can change over time as those needs evolve, and decisions are made collaboratively.
