About me
I am an experienced psychotherapist and EMDR Therapist. I work with adults (18+) and have over 15 years of experience working with a wide range of issues including anxiety, trauma inc PTSD, abuse, ADHD depression, stress, low self-esteem, people pleasing and boundaries, divorce and relationship challenges, work issues, phobias, grief, postnatal depression, OCD, BPD, addictions, burnout, shame, and sexuality.
We are all different and unique, as are our reasons for seeking therapy, but sometimes we just can’t cope on our own anymore and need some help to get through whatever we are facing.
Book a complimentary 15 minute call here.
I believe that, no matter who we are or what we have experienced, we all have the capacity to change, grow, and heal. Therapy supports us to greater self-awareness, understanding and acceptance so we can shift our experiences to feel better, more able to cope and less lost.
If you’d like to find out more about how I can help you please get in touch for a free introductory call. I understand it’s really hard to find the right therapist so am always happy to help, even if that therapist is not me.
What is EMDR Therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a proven therapy that helps people recover from trauma and emotional distress. It uses side-to-side eye movements and structured talk therapy to process painful memories and reduce symptoms.
It’s especially helpful for clients who find it hard to talk in detail about their experiences. EMDR is effective for trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, pain, phobias, and more.
About Me
Therapy is my second career having worked in marketing for large corporates before deciding to retrain. I have my own personal experiences of trauma, anxiety, grief, ADHD and therapy so know exactly what it is like to feel overwhelmed, out of control, lost and needing help.
As part of my training I had a 6 month placement with the NHS Maudsley Trust on the acute women’s mental health ward giving me invaluable experience of personality disorders and suicide. I have worked for several counselling charities in West London and Henley upon Thames and now have a private practice in Marlow.
I have over 15 years experience as a Counsellor and Psychotherapist. I have since trained in ADHD, Breathwork and EMDR which means I have extensive resources to draw on to meet a client’s individual needs. I am constantly taking new trainings, attending conferences to keep up to date with current thinking and best practice to offer the very best and up to date support to my clients.
I offer both short and long-term therapy, online or face-to-face, in my Marlow High Street practice.
Client Testimonial
“EMDR in the hands of the experienced, kind and robust therapist that is Jacqui, is a game changer! Jacqui guided me so calmly and thoughtfully to achieve an incredible shift in just a few sessions. I still can’t believe that something that has caused me so much anxiety and fear has simply disappeared - I have a calmness around those situations which is just wonderful. I really recommend both Jacqui and EMDR, a powerful combination.” J 2025

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
