How Jackie’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience. It aims to make the individual feel heard and to build trust before moving on to change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, or DBT, emphasises skills for managing intense emotions and improving emotional regulation, which can be useful for mood swings and relationship stress.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jackie will work together with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. That means checking in, trying techniques, and adapting the plan as needs change rather than sticking to one fixed route.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and travel, and they can allow shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require travel. Many people find that remote appointments help keep momentum between meetings and make it simpler to attend regularly.
