Jaquetta Trueman, BACP

Jaquetta Trueman is a BACP counsellor who draws on humanistic and experiential approaches to help people through difficult life moments. She offers a calm, attentive space for adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about next steps. Jaquetta listens without judgement and helps people slow down to notice what matters to them now.

She uses a person-centred stance alongside Existential ideas to focus on meaning, choice, and personal values. Mindfulness practices are woven in to steady strong emotions and build practical skills for coping with stress and anxiety. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) techniques support people who want to live in line with their values despite painful thoughts or feelings.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) concepts are available to help name and work with different parts of the self that can drive behaviour. Work can address loss, relationship difficulties, grief, parenting strain, caregiver stress, and feelings of isolation linked to ageing and geriatric issues. Jaquetta also supports people facing addiction, bipolar mood challenges, and trauma-related concerns.

With around 15 years of experience, she aims for sessions that feel straightforward and practical. Conversations explore patterns, unmet needs, and options for change rather than giving ready-made answers. The pace and focus are shaped by each person’s priorities.

People who choose her often want to better manage anxiety, rebuild self-esteem, repair communication problems, or find steadier ways to cope with life changes. Jaquetta helps clients notice small shifts that add up to clearer direction and more choice in daily life.

Approaches that translate well to online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without being driven by them, and then take small steps that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on empathic listening and helping people find their own answers; it supports self-esteem, relationship concerns, and grief by keeping the person’s experience central.

The right approach often becomes clear through conversation. Jaquetta works collaboratively to match methods to someone’s goals and preferences, discussing what feels helpful and adjusting as work progresses. This means sessions can shift between listening, practical skill-building, and experiments to try between meetings.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify formats here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support continuity of care during life changes or when mobility or caregiving duties make attending in person harder. Registered or accredited professionals can suggest ways to structure sessions to suit home routines, work breaks, or quieter times in the day.
