About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Leydon is a counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression and other life challenges. She welcomes those dealing with trauma, addiction, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strains and the effects of loss. Jacqueline aims to offer a steady presence for people who find it hard to trust or to talk about painful experiences.
She draws on eight years of practice and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Jacqueline’s own experience with ADHD, autism, childhood trauma, sexual abuse, domestic violence and bereavement shapes how she listens and responds. That background helps her understand why reaching out feels difficult.
Her work is person-centred and integrative, which means she places the person and their experience at the centre of sessions. She combines ideas from different therapies to suit each client, helping people notice new patterns, make sense of feelings and try practical steps that feel manageable.
Jacqueline uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside attachment-based and existential ideas. These are used in everyday language and small, practical ways so people can apply them between sessions.
She is based in the United Kingdom and offers counselling in English. Prospective clients are encouraged to follow the site process to match with her and to check session options before booking.
Approaches that translate to online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and to act in line with what matters to them. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and trying practical changes in behaviour; it often helps with anxiety, sleep problems and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns and helps people build different ways of relating and feeling safer in close connections.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jacqueline treats this as a collaborative process and will discuss options with each person. She listens to what the client hopes to change, what feels manageable, and then adapts techniques and pace to match those goals.
If you are considering online sessions, check the available session formats before booking as this therapist's profile does not list specific formats. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people use audio-only or camera sessions depending on comfort and bandwidth, and supports using worksheets or exercises between meetings to practise new skills.
