Jaquetta Trueman, BACP

Jaquetta Trueman is a BACP counsellor who offers calm, thoughtful support to adults facing difficult moments. She welcomes people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about what comes next, and aims to provide a steady space to talk things through without judgement.

In sessions she helps clients slow down and reconnect with themselves. Conversations look at thoughts, feelings and recurring patterns, with attention to how past experiences shape present reactions. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

Her practice draws on person-centred and existential ideas, with added tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness methods and Internal Family Systems. These approaches are used flexibly so the counselling fits the issue at hand rather than following a fixed formula.

Jaquetta has fifteen years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She has supported people with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship problems, as well as concerns such as addictions, ADHD, sleeping difficulties and caring-related strain.

She also works with issues like abandonment, attachment struggles, codependency and communication problems. Clients may also bring anger, guilt, shame or questions about life direction, career and coping with big changes.

Sessions focus on practical steps alongside deeper reflection. The aim is to help people build clearer direction, stronger self-understanding and more helpful ways of coping in daily life.

Therapeutic approaches for online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and life changes. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping people find their own direction through open, non-directive conversation.

These approaches are offered in a collaborative way. The therapist will work with each person to find which methods feel most helpful and adjust the approach as needs and goals become clearer. Finding the right fit is part of the work together rather than a one-time decision.

Online sessions can be delivered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for more visual connection, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging can fit around busy schedules. These options give flexibility for different routines, quieter surroundings and practical constraints while keeping the focus on the therapeutic goals.
