Jaquetta Trueman

Jaquetta Trueman is a BACP counsellor with 15 years of experience supporting adults through difficult life changes. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about what comes next. Sessions focus on listening, exploring feelings, and making sense of patterns that get in the way of day-to-day life.

Her work emphasises a person-centred stance. That means the conversation is led by what matters to the client, not by a fixed agenda. Jaquetta blends approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Mindfulness to help people notice thoughts and feelings without being driven by them.

She also draws on Existential ideas to support people facing big life questions and on Internal Family Systems work to map out inner parts that can feel at odds. This mix allows practical ways to cope with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain and separation. Sessions are aimed at helping people name what is happening and try small, manageable steps forward.

Jaquetta has worked with a wide range of issues including depression, addictions, trauma and parenting stress. She also supports people dealing with divorce and separation and the feelings that follow. Her style is warm and straightforward, helping clients find clarity and build day-to-day coping skills.

If you are considering therapy, Jaquetta encourages a collaborative, paced approach. Conversations explore what’s useful now and what might help over time, with the client steering the direction of the work.

How therapeutic approaches shape online counselling

Jaquetta works with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Mindfulness in ways that translate well to conversations online. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing inner experiences - thoughts and feelings - and choosing actions that match what matters to you. This can help with anxiety, grief and coping with life changes. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and bring more calm into daily routines; it often helps with stress, sleep problems and emotional overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jaquetta will talk with each client about their needs, goals and preferences and together they decide which methods to try. That collaboration makes it easier to adjust the style of sessions as progress is made or new priorities emerge.

Practical benefits of online therapy include saving travel time and fitting sessions into a busy week. Online sessions can allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or quieter conversations without needing to travel. Please confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what options are offered and how to schedule sessions that fit daily life.
