Jeanine uses a person-centred approach that focuses on listening and understanding each person’s unique situation. She combines this with techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people clarify values, manage strong emotions and strengthen close bonds. Mindfulness and solution-focused methods are used for practical day-to-day skills.

People who want clear, steady support and practical tools to move forward often find this approach helpful. Jeanine works with international clients and runs sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging.

How Jeanine’s approaches work online

Jeanine draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and learning small, practical steps to behave in ways that matter. It helps when worry, avoidance or painful memories get in the way of living the life someone wants. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centres on understanding and reshaping patterns in close relationships. It helps people notice and respond differently to strong emotions that affect connection and intimacy.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Jeanine will discuss goals and preferences, and adapt methods based on what seems most helpful. The first sessions usually focus on listening, identifying priorities and trying simple techniques to see what fits.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls approximate a face-to-face conversation and allow visual cues. Phone sessions work well when someone has less bandwidth or prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text messaging can suit brief check-ins, ongoing reflections or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy days and different time zones.
