Jacqueline Branfield, NCPS
Jacqueline Branfield is a psychotherapist, counsellor and hypnotherapist working in the United Kingdom.
About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Branfield is a psychotherapist, counsellor and hypnotherapist working in the United Kingdom. She has eight years of experience supporting adults and young people. Jacqueline aims to make therapy straightforward and approachable from the first contact.
Jacqueline trained as a therapeutic practitioner and has worked extensively as a school counsellor. That background means she is used to working with a wide range of day-to-day pressures and emotional challenges. Her practice is informed by neurodiversity awareness and she adapts sessions to individual needs.
Background and approach
She uses a blend of approaches rather than one fixed method. This includes attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques, hypnotherapy and mindfulness. Sessions are structured around what the person brings each week, and goals are set together.
In sessions Jacqueline focuses on calming the nervous system and lowering anxiety and overwhelm. She helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and to reduce the inner critic. Work can include short practical strategies and longer conversations about life patterns and family of origin issues.
People come for many reasons, including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, attachment and abandonment worries, body image and relationship communication problems. Jacqueline also supports those dealing with addiction, eating concerns, dissociation and feelings of emptiness. Her style is warm and inclusive.
She encourages clients to go at their own pace and to explore feelings without pressure. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a session time.

Online support
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. Online sessions can help people notice relationship patterns and practise different responses to reduce anxiety and build self-understanding.
Client-centred therapy places emphasis on listening and being understood. In an online conversation this means the counsellor reflects what is said, helps clarify feelings and supports people to find their own solutions.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Online CBT can include structured exercises and homework to reduce anxiety, change unhelpful thinking, and develop practical coping skills.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jacqueline will discuss goals, preferences and how you like to work, then try methods that fit those needs. The process is collaborative and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
Online sessions offer flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls let you read facial cues and have a fuller conversation. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during a short break. Live chat or text-based messaging is useful for quick check-ins, brief reflections or when typing helps you organise thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, study or caring responsibilities while still using the same therapeutic approaches used in person.
