Jaquetta Trueman, BACP

Jaquetta Trueman is a BACP counsellor who offers calm, straightforward support to adults facing difficult life moments. She presents therapy as a space to pause, notice what matters, and begin making small, practical changes. People come to her feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of what to do next, and she listens without judgment while helping them clarify what they want to change.

Her work draws on person-centred and existential ideas alongside practical methods such as Mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. She also uses Internal Family Systems to help people understand inner parts that influence mood and behaviour. Sessions focus on exploring thought patterns, emotional responses, and habitual reactions so clients can try different ways of responding.

Over 15 years of practice mean she has supported people through grief, relationship strain, career crossroads, transitions and midlife questions. Her experience includes working with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, sleep difficulty, ADHD and compassion fatigue among other concerns. She seeks to meet each person where they are and adapt the approach to their needs.

In conversations she aims to be practical and down to earth. That may involve noticing unhelpful patterns, developing grounding skills, or testing new ways of being between sessions. The aim is clearer thinking and more manageable next steps rather than quick fixes.

Clients can expect steady, patient support while they work through loss, change and confusing life phases. The focus is on rebuilding direction, strengthening self-understanding and helping people move forward at a pace that suits them.

How Jaquetta’s approaches work online

Jaquetta draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centred ideas alongside Mindfulness work to support people through life changes. ACT focuses on helping people clarify what matters and take committed steps in that direction, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. Client-centred therapy offers an accepting, non-directive space where the person’s own goals guide the work. Mindfulness practices teach simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and improve emotional balance.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will listen to your concerns and discuss what might fit best given your goals and preferences. That collaborative exploration helps tailor sessions so they address the issues that matter most to you, whether that is dealing with grief, midlife decisions, or long-term stress.

In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family commitments, reduce travel time and allow people to continue therapy when life is busy. It also makes shorter check-in sessions or regular weekly work more manageable for many people.
