Jacqueline John, BACP

Jacqueline John is an integrative psychotherapist and counsellor based in London who brings 36 years of professional experience to her remote and international practice. She works within the ethical framework of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) as a registered member, and draws on a range of therapeutic methods so each person receives an approach suited to their situation. Jacqueline has supported individuals, couples, families, young people and those who are bereaved, and she also provides services for external organisations and charities.

Her integrative style means she blends techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, existential and psychodynamic ideas within a person-centred framework, tailoring sessions to present concerns while exploring relevant past experiences. She offers both short-term and long-term contracts according to a client's needs and goals, and adapts her work for issues including stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, trauma and a wide range of family and parenting matters.

Clients have described Jacqueline as warm, accepting, non-judgmental, insightful and usefully challenging. She is not available on Saturdays, Sundays and bank holidays, and she aims to respond to enquiries within 24 hours. Jacqueline provides therapy remotely under UK guidelines and accepts international clients who prefer video, phone, chat or messaging formats.

Therapeutic approaches for effective online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take committed action toward those values while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, depression and people facing life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding how early relationships shape current patterns of relating, communication and trust. This approach supports work on relationship difficulties, family dynamics, abandonment and attachment issues by exploring emotional bonds and repairing ruptures.

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a respectful, non-judgmental therapeutic relationship where the client leads the pace and focus of work. It is particularly helpful for building self-esteem, coping with grief, and exploring personal growth in a supportive environment.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Jacqueline John works collaboratively with clients and registered professionals to identify which methods fit a person’s needs, goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as therapy progresses.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access support across locations. These options offer flexibility in scheduling, consistency of care for people who travel or live abroad, and multiple formats so clients can choose what feels most comfortable for them.
