Jacqueline Carter- Brown, BACP

Jacqueline Carter- Brown welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or relationship strain. She presents a calm and reflective manner to help people talk through painful experiences and confusing feelings. Jacqueline uses clear, steady conversation to help someone feel understood and find practical ways forward.

Jacqueline is a BACP counsellor with 21 years of experience. She draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat in relationships and life choices. She also uses trauma-focused approaches to help people process painful events and reduce their hold on daily life.

In sessions she aims to be genuine and attentive. Work is shaped around each person’s goals and pace. Conversations may look at family of origin, attachment patterns, or how past hurts feed present difficulties.

Jacqueline addresses a broad range of concerns including depression, anxiety, addictions, anger and self-esteem. She also supports those coping with life changes, intimacy issues, bereavement, and the impact of abuse or domestic violence.

Practical tools and short-term goals are blended with deeper exploration when useful. Sessions can include solution-focused work to build immediate coping strategies alongside longer-term reflection. The aim is clearer thinking, steadier emotions, and better choices in everyday life.

Approaches that suit online counselling

Jacqueline combines psychodynamic work and trauma-focused work to help people online. Psychodynamic therapy looks at recurring life patterns and relationship dynamics to find lasting change. It can help when someone wants to understand why they react in certain ways or repeat difficult relationship patterns. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on processing upsetting events and reducing their daily impact. This approach can be useful for people coping with abuse, overwhelming memories, or strong emotional reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the counselling process. Jacqueline works collaboratively to decide what fits best. Sessions begin with an exploration of your needs, goals and preferences, then the plan is adjusted as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility and a range of ways to connect. Video calls let conversations feel close to an in-person session. Phone sessions or live chat can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between calls and can suit people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caring duties and daily life.
