Jacqueline Selby , BACP

Jacqueline Selby is a UK-licensed therapist with more than 15 years of experience supporting adults across a wide range of life challenges. She holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and has worked with hundreds of people in over 50 countries, offering a warm, respectful and non-judgmental presence that focuses on compassionate support and practical progress.

Her practice is rooted in a person-centered approach, which emphasizes the client as the expert of their own life and trusts that, given the right conditions and support, people can make meaningful changes. Jacqueline tailors sessions and treatment plans to each individual, collaborating to prioritise concerns and work in a solution-focused way so clients can notice progress and address where they feel stuck.

She has experience with stress, anxiety, overthinking, relationship difficulties, motivation, self-esteem and confidence, depression, LGBTQi matters, grief and loss, coping with significant life changes and related concerns. Jacqueline also works with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, adoption and foster care matters, caregiver stress, chronic illness and disability, communication and family challenges.

Sessions are available by phone, video, live chat or in-app messaging, and 45-minute appointments can be booked via her schedule. She typically offers weekday appointments Monday to Thursday with an earlier finish on Friday and can sometimes accommodate weekend requests. Jacqueline recommends starting with weekly sessions for the first month and then reviewing progress. She monitors messages once in the morning and once in the afternoon and aims to respond as appropriate. In situations of immediate danger or crisis she asks people to seek local emergency assistance. Jacqueline welcomes enquiries from people ready to take a next step and is accepting new clients.

Attachment, Client-Centered, and Mindfulness Online

Jacqueline uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships and attachment patterns influence current connections and emotional responses. This approach is useful for people dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, relationship difficulties and related emotional patterns. Client-Centered Therapy - also known as person-centered work - creates a non-judgmental, empathetic space where the therapist follows the client’s pace and priorities, supporting self-understanding, confidence and goal-directed change. Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and simple attention practices that can help reduce habitual worry and support coping with stress, anxiety and chronic life pressures.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Jacqueline treats this as a collaborative exploration. She will work with each person to determine which methods feel most helpful based on their needs, goals and preferences, adapting techniques as the work evolves in partnership with the client and other licensed professionals if needed.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules, time zones and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent therapy, fit sessions into busy lives and maintain momentum between appointments while working toward meaningful change.
