Jaqui Lamb

Jaqui Lamb is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and issues around self-esteem and relationships. She also supports people facing life changes, grief, parenting strain, addiction, anger, career uncertainty and challenges linked to ADHD. Jaqui writes plainly and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for anyone feeling overwhelmed.

She brings three years of therapeutic practice to her work, alongside a long background in education. That prior experience shaped her practical, patient approach to helping people build coping skills and make sustained changes. Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual and move at a comfortable pace.

Jaqui uses an integrative style that draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening and emotionally focused principles. This means the sessions are guided by the client's story and needs, with techniques chosen to meet specific goals. Her tone is empathic and straightforward rather than formal or clinical.

In conversation she aims to create space to talk through feelings, notice patterns, and try small, practical steps between meetings. She encourages clear goals and ongoing reflection so progress can be tracked. Jaqui believes people already carry strengths that therapy can help them use more effectively.

If you are considering starting therapy she asks for a short matching questionnaire to begin. This helps with scheduling and deciding whether her style fits your current needs. The process is collaborative and designed to help you make sensible first moves towards change.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early patterns of connection affect feelings and relationships now; it can help people notice recurring dynamics and find different ways of relating. Client-centred therapy focuses on attentive listening and creating a respectful space where the person guides the topics and pace; it helps when someone needs understanding and to be heard. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) seeks to identify and process core emotions within relationships and personal patterns, which can aid in reducing distress linked to intimacy and attachment issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work collaboratively with the client to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That may mean combining elements from different approaches and adjusting over time as goals evolve.

If you are considering online work, confirm the session formats available before booking. The biography lists online, face-to-face and telephone work, so ask which of those are currently offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or travel, and telephone sessions can offer a shorter, less visual check-in when that is preferred. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt techniques used in person to remote settings, and the practical aim is to make sessions fit everyday life while focusing on the goals you bring to therapy.
