Jacqueline Zdravkovski, AASW

Jacqueline Zdravkovski is an AASW-accredited social worker with nine years of professional experience. She creates a straightforward, welcoming space where people can say what they feel and think. Jacqueline aims to make that first step easier by acknowledging the courage it takes to begin therapy.

She uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help with stress, anxiety and relationship concerns. Sessions focus on building everyday skills for coping, improving communication and managing strong emotions. Jacqueline also addresses sleep problems, grief and career stress in a clear, step-by-step way.

Her work covers self-esteem, motivation and navigating life changes. People who feel stuck by uncertainty, control issues or emptiness are offered simple tools to try between sessions. There is attention to patterns that come from family of origin, attachment difficulties and codependency so clients can notice what keeps repeating.

Jacqueline draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy alongside client-centred listening. She tailors sessions to each person’s goals and pace rather than following a single formula. The aim is skills that make day-to-day life more manageable.

She also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue, caregiver stress, ADHD and the fallout of separation or divorce. Jacqueline works in English and practices in Australia, helping people take practical steps toward clearer thinking and steadier moods.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and choosing actions that match what matters most. It can help with anxiety, low mood and uncertainty by building values-led habits. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical strategies for breaking unhelpful cycles. It is often used for stress, sleep problems and anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to relationship patterns from early life and helps people change how they relate and respond to others, which can ease recurring relationship difficulties.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try different techniques and adapt methods based on what works for the client. That means sessions can mix listening, skills practice and homework tailored to personal needs and pace.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer to meet from a familiar space or who need flexible scheduling. Jacqueline will work with clients to match approach and format so therapy fits day-to-day life.
