Jaquetta Trueman, BACP

Jaquetta Trueman is a counsellor with a BACP accreditation and 15 years of experience supporting adults through difficult life moments. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can slow down and talk about what feels overwhelming. Her manner aims to help people feel heard and clearer about what matters to them next.

Jaquetta draws on approaches that focus on the whole person. Sessions look at thoughts, feelings and behaviour together, and explore where patterns may have started. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts without being ruled by them, and Client‑Centred methods to keep the person’s own goals central.

Her work also includes existential ideas about meaning and choice, and mindfulness practices to build steadiness in day-to-day life. Internal Family Systems is part of her toolkit when people want to understand inner parts and how they influence behaviour. These methods are mixed to suit each person rather than following a fixed formula.

Jaquetta has supported people with stress, anxiety, low self‑esteem, depression, grief and relationship issues. Additional focus areas include jealousy, infidelity, codependency and attachment concerns. She also works with practical strains such as parenting stress, carer burnout and sleep problems.

Therapy begins by finding out what the client hopes to achieve and what feels realistic. Sessions are shaped around those goals, and progress is reviewed together as work continues.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions. It often includes simple exercises to identify values and take small steps that match those values. Client‑Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person feels understood and can set their own pace and goals. This approach is helpful when someone needs space to make sense of emotions and decide what matters next.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, so therapy stays practical and personalised.

The original biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check‑ins during a lunch break. It can also let people use practices like mindfulness between sessions, and keep continuity when life events make face‑to‑face meetings difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can explain which format they offer and help match it to the client's day‑to‑day needs.
