Jacquelyn works with adult clients and adolescents, specializing in trauma healing, relationships and attachment, self-esteem, anxiety and depression. She believes that much of what keeps individuals disconnected from others and themselves is driven by unconscious patterns developed as coping mechanisms in response to trauma and emotional suppression. By deepening awareness about why people do what they do, her therapeutic process aims to help individuals identify these patterns, find emotional release, and realize choice, which can yield greater connection, and acceptance within and with others.

Everyone has their own unique and complex story and experiences, struggles, fears and painful feelings. These emotional experiences and inner needs are affected by your personal background, life experiences, and various interpersonal traumas. These need to be listened to and understood. Psychotherapy is a very safe and powerful space. It is also a collaborative process between you and me. It can help you better understand your own set of needs, build a more flexible psychological strength to accept yourself, and discover your inner strength to bring about change for yourself.

Life is hard, everybody is coping how they can. Sometimes, these ways of coping become obsolete, stop working, or cause new issues. Therapy can help discover new ways of coping that suit you better. However, change can be scary and having a therapist helps bring some security to discover your choices, gain control and effect change.

I often meet clients as they are reaching the limits of their abilities to handle life's surprises. This doesn't necessarily mean that their lives are falling apart, but they're recognising what is working for them now may not always work and they're seeking new ideas and new ways to live. Whether that is handling stress at work, dealing with conflicts in their relationships, clients I work with often feel like they're coming up short and are unable to break through - in short, like they're stuck. They want to try something new but are unsure what may work and are looking for resources and support to build themselves up.

Life can come with a few challenges, and it’s no wonder we feel overwhelmed sometimes. It’s okay to not feel okay, so let's go through this together.

All human behaviour can be quantified and measured. Gathering data and analysing themes and patterns within it illuminates an individual or family system's unique areas of strength and weakness. This information is then used to make predictions (accurate guesses) about future behaviour & guide the decision-making process when required to solve complex problems.

I work with adults and teenagers struggling with anxiety, depression, anger management, low self esteem and personality disorders. I help clients work on thought distortions at the roots of their distress which helps alleviate their strong negative emotions (worry, shame, guilt, sadness, self-loathing etc.). Most of my clients see an easing of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter. For more details visit my website www.moveaheadcounselling.com
