About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Zdravkovski is an AASW counsellor with nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties. Jacqueline aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and respectful of each person's pace.
She uses straightforward, collaborative conversations to explore what is getting in the way day to day. Sessions focus on skills for coping with life changes, sleep issues, anger and overwhelm. Jacqueline also supports people dealing with grief, compassion fatigue and career-related stress.
Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with more useful ones. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps clients clarify values and take small steps towards them even when emotions are difficult.
Jacqueline also brings client-centred listening and attachment-based ideas into the room. This helps people feel heard and notice how early relationships affect current patterns. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy tools are used when strong emotions need practical regulation and skills practice.
Clients can expect short-term practical strategies alongside deeper work on patterns and relationships. Jacqueline supports people through the small changes that build into better day-to-day functioning. She encourages courage and curiosity as people try new ways of coping.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low motivation and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments to reduce distress and improve routines. This approach can help with sleep problems, anxiety and anger. Attachment-Based Therapy emphasises how early relationship patterns affect current behaviour and communication, which can help people who struggle with connection and repeated relationship problems.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Jacqueline will work collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals, values and day-to-day needs. Clients can expect the therapist to explain options, try techniques together and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so a session can be scheduled during a work break or between commitments. Appropriately qualified therapists can adapt ACT, CBT and attachment-based work to remote sessions using exercises, behavioural experiments and skills coaching that fit a client's everyday life.
