About Jacqueline Leydon

Jacqueline Leydon is a person-centred integrative counsellor who brings both professional training and personal experience to her work. She understands how difficult it can be to reach out for help, having been on the other side of the counselling room herself, and this perspective informs a deep, empathetic approach to supporting others.

Her lived experience includes navigating ADHD, autism, childhood trauma, sexual abuse, rape, domestic violence, addictions, and bereavement. These personal encounters with complex issues contribute to a grounded understanding of how such experiences affect trust, relationships, and everyday functioning, and they shape the way she relates to people seeking support.

Jacqueline's practice emphasises the person rather than positioning the therapist as the expert. Through a person-centred integrative approach she aims to help people develop fresh awareness, make sense of their experiences, and find practical ways to cope and move forward. The work prioritises a genuine, non-judgmental relationship and a supportive atmosphere where individuals can explore difficult material at their own pace.

She holds the BACP credential - a recognition from the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her professional alignment with a national counselling body. Jacqueline focuses on meeting each person as an individual and drawing on different therapeutic ideas to suit their needs.

Could Remote Therapy Be a Fit for You?

Many people wonder whether remote therapy can truly help. For a range of common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and major life transitions - online therapy can offer support comparable to traditional in-person sessions, allowing people to work on these issues from their own settings.

One of the main advantages is flexibility. People can choose the mode of connection that suits them best, whether that is video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility can make it easier to incorporate therapy into busy schedules and to access support when travel or timing would otherwise be a barrier.

Licensed professionals provide the care, and you can seek a different therapist at any time if you feel another fit would be better. For many, working with a therapist remotely provides a practical and effective route to addressing everyday difficulties and personal growth.
