Jaquetta Trueman, BACP

Jaquetta Trueman is a BACP counsellor with 15 years of experience supporting adults through difficult life phases. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can slow down and make sense of what they are feeling. Jaquetta listens closely and helps people explore patterns, thoughts and emotions at a manageable pace.

Her practice draws on client-centred work and existential ideas, with added elements from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness, and Internal Family Systems. Sessions focus on understanding how past experiences shape present responses and on practical ways to move forward. Jaquetta adapts what she does to each person rather than imposing a one-size-fits-all method.

Typical concerns she addresses include anxiety, depression, stress, grief, low self-esteem and relationship strain. She also works with issues such as addictions, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, parenting stress, career questions and compassion fatigue. Additional areas of focus include abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency and forgiveness.

Clients can expect a conversational approach that balances emotional exploration with grounded exercises. Jaquetta supports people to notice patterns, try small changes and build clearer direction over time. Her aim is practical progress alongside greater self-understanding.

Based in the United Kingdom, she draws on long experience helping adults navigate life changes, difficult losses and ongoing emotional challenges. People wanting to know more are invited to begin by sharing what brought them to therapy so sessions can be shaped around their needs.

How Jaquetta’s approaches work online

Jaquetta commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centred approaches in her work. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and supports action that matches personal values. Client-Centred work focuses on empathic listening and following the person’s pace, which suits people who need a gentle, steady space to talk.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy journey. She works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s needs and goals, and will adjust direction as understanding grows. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions remain useful and relevant.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats with the service before booking as options are not specified here. Online work can help fit therapy into busy lives by reducing travel and making it easier to schedule around work or family commitments. It can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions that suit quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth, depending on the agreed format and what works best for you.
