Hello, my name is Jacqueline and I am a psychotherapist and counsellor working online and in Lewes to help adults and young people to create positive changes. At the moment, you may be feeling overwhelmed by your emotions. Trauma, abuse, or neglect from the past may be haunting you. You may be approaching a life transition with anxiety and fear.

There are many reasons why people choose to come to therapy. For some, it can be a sense of discomfort, an internal struggle, or perhaps an external trigger has pushed you towards seeking support.
Therapy can be an empowering process, supporting you to reconnect with yourself, to notice and take care of your needs, bringing you self awareness, healing, and a deeper sense of security.
My main training and theoretical background is Transactional Analysis & Relational Integrative Psychotherapy. I also draw on Trauma-Informed Nervous System Regulation techniques in my work to support deeper healing.

The past leaves its footprints in the future. It can keep affecting us, making it hard to be happy, especially when life throws up challenges. Sometimes it helps to have someone working alongside you, helping you find your path. I know starting therapy can be daunting, so I use an integrated approach to create a safe and supportive environment where you will feel empowered to explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. Together we will unpick patterns that no longer serve you, helping you build a more positive future.

Do you find yourself feeling disconnected in relationships, perhaps longing for closeness but somehow ending up feeling misunderstood, alone or caught in the same painful patterns again and again?
Or maybe you've always been the one who looks after everyone else, appearing capable and resilient on the outside, yet privately feel exhausted, anxious, overwhelmed, or unsure who you really are beneath the roles you've learned to play.
Many of the people I work with come to therapy carrying such feelings, and I help them find real change in thier lives.

My therapy practice centres around a belief in the transformative potential of experiencing connection and understanding with self and other. I believe one of the ways this can be achieved is through building an authentic professional therapeutic relationship based on qualities such as trust, acceptance and understanding. I prioritise the importance of working collaboratively at your pace and by your direction. My practice is informed by my person-centred and experiential training, and by my interest in working with the body, neuroscience, and through creative expression.

Using IFS with trauma-informed, attachment-based therapy, we explore protective patterns like perfectionism or shutting down so you can feel steadier, clearer, and more connected to yourself.
If you’re tired of looking capable on the outside while feeling overwhelmed, anxious or self-critical on the inside, you’re not alone. Many high-achieving women carry old hurt, fear or shame while still showing up for everyone else. Therapy offers a steady, safe space to slow down and understand the parts of you that work so hard to keep everything together. As we explore these inner dynamics with compassion, you can begin to feel more supported, more grounded, and more connected to a calmer, confident Self. If this resonates, I’d be honoured to walk alongside you.

Maybe you've spent years feeling too much, not enough, or like you're disappearing inside your own life. Or maybe you've tried therapy before and left feeling more pathologised than understood.
At Common Ground, you don't have to explain yourself from scratch or make yourself smaller to fit the room. We're a specialist neurodivergent-affirming and trauma-informed practice — and we get it from the inside.

Are you experiencing challenges in your relationships that feel difficult to resolve?
You may feel exhausted by constant conflict, depressed and just not yourself. Perhaps you feel invisible and distant to your partner, and none of your efforts to make things better seem to work. You know change is necessary but you can't see a way forward.
Perhaps you are wondering whether to leave the relationship but that thought feels scary and uncertain, like a constant, heavy weight? Being in this place can leave you overwhelmed and and deeply confused. The thought of the future feels uncertain and yet you know that you want more from life.
