Jacqueline John , BACP

Jacqueline John is an integrative psychotherapist and counsellor based in London who brings 36 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, families, young people, and those who are bereaved. She works remotely and internationally under UK law guidelines, offering both short-term and long-term counselling arrangements that are discussed during an initial session. As an integrative practitioner she adapts her approach to suit each person's needs, drawing on methods such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, existential perspectives, and psychodynamic work within a person-centred framework to explore present concerns and past experiences.

She is a counselling member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists, and works within its ethical framework and code of practice. Jacqueline maintains a practice that serves people of different genders, sexual orientations, faiths, and cultures, and also provides services for external organisations and charities. Client feedback has described her as warm, accepting, non-judgmental, insightful, and usefully challenging.

Jacqueline offers flexibility in how therapy is delivered and will discuss hopes and expectations at the start of work together. She aims to respond to enquiries within 24 hours and is not available on Saturdays, Sundays, and bank holidays.

Helping clients online with proven therapeutic approaches

Jacqueline John uses structured and relational methods that translate well to remote work. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behaviour that contribute to stress or anxiety and then developing practical strategies to shift those patterns - it can help with mood, anxiety, and coping with life transitions. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a respectful, non-directive stance where the therapist offers empathy and acceptance so clients can explore their own values and choices - this approach supports self-esteem, relationship issues, and personal growth. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current attachment styles and emotional responses, and it can be helpful for relationship difficulties, trauma, and issues linked to abandonment or family of origin concerns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jacqueline will work with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and may blend techniques over time to support meaningful change. The aim is to create a responsive plan that evolves with the client's progress.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to access licensed professionals from home, work, or while travelling. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity of care across locations, and find a communication mode that feels most comfortable for the client.
