Jaquetta Trueman , BACP

Jaquetta Trueman is a BACP-accredited counselling psychotherapist with 15 years of experience supporting adults through challenging life moments. She offers a calm, attentive presence for people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about what comes next, and she approaches each person with curiosity and without judgment.

Her work creates a space to slow down and reconnect with inner experience. Jaquetta helps clients explore thoughts, feelings, and recurring patterns to understand where they originated and how they influence day-to-day life now. She uses an integrative, humanistic style rooted in client-centered and existential ideas, and has continued professional development in Mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS).

Jaquetta has supported people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, parenting and family challenges, anger, career pressures, bipolar disorder, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and life transitions. She also works with issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, codependency, communication problems, infidelity, guilt and shame, isolation, and caregiver stress. Her goal is to tailor therapy to each person so they can find greater clarity, resilience, and self-understanding.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Jaquetta uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and take practical steps toward a meaningful life, even when painful thoughts or feelings are present. ACT can be useful for issues such as anxiety, depression, and difficulty coping with change.

Her client-centered approach prioritises the person in therapy, offering empathic listening and acceptance to support self-exploration. This style can help with relationship concerns, low self-esteem, grief, and the emotional impact of life transitions by strengthening self-awareness and agency.

Jaquetta also draws on Internal Family Systems (IFS), a model that explores different parts of the self and how they interact. IFS can be effective for understanding internal conflicts, trauma responses, and patterns that affect relationships and wellbeing.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Jaquetta works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the work as those needs evolve.

Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people balancing work, family, and other commitments. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals and maintain continuity of care when in-person appointments are difficult.
