Online Counselling for Adults Across the UK
Welcome, and thank you for visiting Counselling JCT
Life can leave you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or weighed down by grief, family patterns, or major life changes. You don’t have to navigate it alone.

Whether you’re facing anxiety, grief, high-functioning stress, or transitions, our sessions provide a safe, confidential space to explore your challenges and begin meaningful change. Each step is guided with warmth, insight, and practical tools, so transformation isn’t just something you think about; it’s something you feel.
Together, we’ll:

About Me – Jackie: Helping You Find Calm, Clarity & Connection
Hi, I’m Jackie. For over 25 years, I’ve supported adults across the UK who feel anxious, overwhelmed, or weighed down by past experiences, family patterns, grief, or major life changes. I understand how heavy life can feel, and how transformative it is to finally feel seen, safe, and understood.
My approach is grounded in:
- Polyvagal-informed therapy – helping you understand why your body reacts the way it does
- Somatic practices & nervous system regulation - gentle tools to soothe anxiety and restore calm
- Person-centred counselling – because every healing journey is unique
I bring warmth, authenticity, and a deep belief in your capacity to heal, guiding you step by step toward meaningful change.
As Brené Brown reminds us, we don’t have to do it all alone; we were never meant to.
Together, we’ll explore your challenges, release old patterns, rebuild confidence, and reconnect with yourself and your relationships, all at your pace, through compassionate online counselling across the UK.
Together, we’ll move at your pace, one compassionate step at a time, helping you release old patterns, reconnect with yourself and your relationships, and build lasting calm, confidence, and clarity.
"The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of those depths."
Elizabeth Kübler-Ross
