Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Jacqueline "Jacky" Ellis uses several established approaches to tailor therapy to each person’s needs. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating that develop from early caregiving relationships - it helps people understand how past attachments affect current relationships and emotional responses. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a non-directive, empathetic stance where the therapist supports the client’s self-exploration and personal growth, useful for building self-esteem and finding authenticity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, making it effective for anxiety, stress and mood-related concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Jacqueline works collaboratively with clients to identify goals and preferences and to adapt methods over time, helping to discover the best fit for their situation. She draws on training and experience to blend approaches in ways that respond to each person’s presenting needs.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats let clients connect with licensed professionals and therapists from home or other convenient locations, making ongoing support more accessible while accommodating varied communication styles and life demands.
