Jacqueline Tow is a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist who works with people across a wide range of cultural backgrounds, ages, and neurodiverse presentations. She has substantial experience supporting children, young people, parents and carers, and brings personal insight into the complexities of migration and resettlement after living overseas.

Her practice is rooted in deep respect and a trauma-informed, attachment-rich approach that draws on systemic family therapy principles. Jacqueline emphasizes creating a space where clients can pause, reflect, and make sense of their stories. She believes therapy can help anyone gain clearer self-understanding and improve how they relate to others, and she tailors the number and pace of sessions to each person’s needs.

Jacqueline integrates a range of therapeutic modalities to match the needs of each client, including attachment-based work, client-centered and person-centered approaches, narrative therapy, systemic family therapy, psychodynamic psychotherapy, internal family systems, solution-focused strategies, cognitive behavioral therapy - CBT, and motivational interviewing. Her areas of focus include stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, self-esteem concerns, and coping with life changes, and she also works with attachment issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, caregiver stress, communication and family of origin problems, immigration-related concerns, intellectual disability, isolation and loneliness, multicultural issues, and self-love.

She holds the ACA credential, which indicates membership in a professional counselling association and a commitment to recognized standards of practice. Jacqueline offers an empathetic, steady presence and aims to support clients in finding practical and meaningful ways forward.
