Jacqueline Branfield , NCPS

Jacqueline Branfield is a compassionate psychotherapist, counsellor and hypnotherapist who has supported young people and adults across the United Kingdom for eight years. She brings specialist experience from work in schools and roles as a consulting therapeutic practitioner, combining those settings into a practice that meets a wide range of needs.

Working in an integrative way, Jacqueline draws on multiple counselling models and adapts her approach to each person she meets. Her practice is informed by neurodiversity, so sessions are tailored to respect individual differences and provide inclusive, personalised care. Jacqueline uses gentle pacing to help clients explore feelings, thoughts and experiences at their own speed and in a way that feels manageable.

Her focus includes reducing anxiety and stress, addressing trauma and abuse, and strengthening self esteem. She places emphasis on soothing the nervous system and reducing overwhelm and overthinking so that clients can move away from self-censorship and the inner critic. In therapy she supports practical steps toward feeling steadier and more self-compassionate, helping people build the skills to become their own allies.

Jacqueline holds the NCPS credential, indicating professional qualification in psychotherapy, and she welcomes both local and international clients who are seeking thoughtful, adaptive therapeutic support.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Jacqueline integrates several evidence-informed approaches to help clients manage stress, anxiety and the impact of trauma. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and patterns formed early in life - it helps people understand how attachment styles shape their current connections and emotional responses. Client-Centered Therapy places the client at the heart of the work, emphasizing empathy, acceptance and a non-directive stance so the person can explore their own goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours, offering practical tools to reduce anxiety, challenge unhelpful thinking and build coping skills.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jacqueline works with each person to identify priorities and preferences, and she adjusts methods as therapy progresses so the work remains relevant and effective for the individual's needs.

Online therapy with Jacqueline is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, access support from different locations, and continue work between sessions when helpful.
