About Jackie

Jackie Chester is a UK-licensed therapist with 17 years of professional experience, offering compassionate support to people facing a wide range of emotional and behavioural challenges. She holds BACP membership - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which indicates alignment with nationally recognised professional standards and ethical guidance. Jackie has focused her practice on helping clients manage stress and anxiety, cope with addictions, work through trauma and abuse, and rebuild motivation, self-esteem, and confidence.

She fosters an open, non-judgmental space where clients are encouraged to explore thoughts and feelings at their own pace. Jackie works collaboratively with each person to set goals and develop practical strategies tailored to their needs. Taking the first step toward therapy can require courage, and Jackie acknowledges and supports that commitment to change throughout the therapeutic process.

Client-Centered Support and Online Sessions

Jackie practices client-centered therapy, a humanistic approach that places the person at the heart of the work. This method emphasises empathetic listening, acceptance, and collaboration so clients can explore feelings, build self-awareness, and strengthen their own solutions. It is well suited to issues such as low self-esteem, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and the emotional effects of trauma and addiction.

Therapy is a collaborative process and finding the right approach is part of the journey. Jackie will work with each client to identify which methods and pacing feel most helpful based on their needs, goals, and personal preferences. Together they set aims and review progress so the approach can be adjusted as needed.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for busy lives and for those who live some distance from in-person services. Jackie provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose the format that best fits their schedule and comfort level. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to access support when it is most needed.
