Jaquetta Trueman , BACP

Jaquetta Trueman is a BACP-accredited counselling psychotherapist with 15 years of experience supporting adults through difficult life chapters. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental presence and creates a space where people can slow down, reconnect with themselves, and explore thoughts, feelings, and patterns with curiosity and compassion. Her BACP accreditation indicates professional recognition within the UK counselling profession and reflects a commitment to ongoing development and ethical practice.

Jaquetta takes an integrative, humanistic approach that can be tailored to each person’s needs rather than applying one rigid method. Drawing on client-centered and existential principles alongside training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness, and Internal Family Systems, she works collaboratively to understand how past experiences shape present behaviour and to identify practical, values-based ways forward. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, parenting and family issues, anger, career concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and related challenges. Whether someone is facing loss, major transitions, or persistent patterns that limit wellbeing, Jaquetta aims to help them regain clarity, build resilience, and reconnect with a sense of direction.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Jaquetta draws on several evidence-informed approaches to tailor work to each person's needs. Client-centered therapy focuses on offering an accepting, empathic environment so individuals can explore their experience at their own pace; it is useful for people struggling with self-esteem, relationships, loss, or uncertainty. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take committed action toward those values while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings - it can be helpful for anxiety, avoidance, and coping with life changes. Internal Family Systems (IFS) offers a way of understanding internal parts or aspects of the self and helping them to communicate and cooperate, which can be beneficial for trauma, patterns of self-criticism, and complex emotional responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jaquetta works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their goals, preferences, and circumstances, adjusting the focus as understanding grows and progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call or phone, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to access support around work, family, or mobility constraints. Working with a licensed professional in these formats can make it simpler to maintain continuity of care, try different modalities, and build momentum from wherever someone feels most comfortable.
