Jill Malcolm

Jill Malcolm helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem or struggles in relationships. She speaks plainly and listens closely, offering a calm space to talk through difficult feelings. Many come for help with family tensions, intimacy concerns, grief, eating issues, or adapting to big life changes. Jill is a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) registered counsellor with three years of professional experience. She uses practical, person-focused methods so conversations stay relevant to everyday life. Sessions are built around what matters to each person rather than a fixed script. Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which encourages taking small values-based steps even when feelings are hard. Attachment-based ideas help when past relationships affect present ones. Client-centred work means the person sets the pace and focus of each session. Mindfulness exercises are offered when someone wants tools for calming a racing mind. Jill also supports people dealing with ADHD-related challenges, codependency, and body image or chronic health concerns. She talks through coping strategies and communication skills that can be used between sessions. People describe starting therapy as a practical process of learning new ways to respond to stress and relationship strain. Jill aims to be steady and straightforward while helping people find clearer choices and small changes that fit their lives.

How Jill uses ACT, attachment work and mindfulness online

Jill draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, then take small steps that match their values. This can be useful for anxiety, low mood, or when making big life changes.

Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how early relationship patterns affect current reactions and closeness. These conversations aim to clarify patterns and try new ways of relating that reduce conflict or distance.

Mindfulness practices are offered as short exercises to calm the nervous system and increase focus. They are practical tools that can be used between conversations to steady emotions and reduce reactivity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jill will collaborate with each person to decide which methods feel most helpful, adjusting techniques to match needs, goals and personal preference.

If you are considering online therapy, please confirm the session options before booking as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session feels too much. It can also let people use quieter surroundings or switch off video when that helps them engage more easily.
