About Jaquiline
Jaquiline "Jaqui" Clarke is an AASW social worker who uses acceptance and commitment therapy and strength-based ideas in sessions. She offers a warm, honest counselling style and draws on her background in education and social work to explain wellbeing in plain terms.
Jaqui aims to make therapy a practical part of everyday life for people dealing with anxiety, depression, stress and related concerns. Jaqui completed a Bachelor of Education (Primary) and a Master of Social Work (Qualifying) at Federation University.
Background and approach
She has around five years of counted professional experience and additional years working in mental health roles before and during her studies. That work exposed her to a wide range of presentations from mild symptoms through to crisis situations. Her approach blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with client-centred listening and motivational interviewing techniques.
She uses simple psychoeducation from her teaching background to explain concepts like coping skills, emotion regulation and behavioural change. Sessions aim to be practical and focused on real-life steps the person can try between meetings. Jaqui has supported people with anxiety, depression, bipolar conditions, psychosis-related presentations and personality disorder features.
She also works with concerns such as addiction, trauma, sleep and eating problems, parenting stress, workplace issues and phobias. Her additional focus areas include ADHD, autism and obsessive-compulsive patterns. In session she invites feedback and keeps things straightforward.
Jaqui works online and seeks to tailor the therapy approach to each person’s goals and circumstances. She prefers collaborative work where the person sets priorities and they measure progress together.
Therapeutic approaches for online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. This approach often helps with anxiety, stress, phobias and coping with life changes. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the centre of sessions, offering non-judgemental listening and acceptance so people can find their own solutions and build self-trust.Jaqui treats choice of approach as a collaborative decision. She will work with the person to identify goals, try different techniques and adjust the plan as needed. This means the therapeutic method can shift over time to better match progress and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexibility across several formats. Video calls let the therapist and client work face to face when visual connection helps; phone sessions suit those with lower bandwidth or who prefer no video. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, written reflections and ongoing notes between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around school, work or caregiving commitments and to keep momentum between appointments.
