Jacqueline Tow, ACA

Jacqueline Tow is a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist with ACA credential and six years of clinical experience working in Australia. She has supported people across a wide range of cultural backgrounds, ages, and neurodiversity, with particular experience working with children, young people and parents or carers. Jacqueline has also lived overseas and draws on personal understanding of migration and related challenges when working with people affected by relocation and settlement.

Her practice is trauma informed and attachment-rich, guided by systemic family therapy principles and a deep respect for each person she meets. Jacqueline works collaboratively to help clients make sense of their own story and how it connects to current relationships and life circumstances. She offers practical strategies alongside reflective exploration so people can better manage stress, anxiety, grief, parenting demands, self-esteem concerns and other life changes.

Jacqueline also focuses on attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, caregiver stress, communication and family of origin matters, multicultural concerns, isolation and self-love. Sessions are tailored to individual needs and may draw on approaches such as attachment-based, client-centred and cognitive behavioural methods. She aims to create a calm space for reflection and change, leaving the number and frequency of sessions up to each person.

Approaches that guide online therapy and support

Jacqueline draws on attachment-based work to help people understand patterns in close relationships and how early connections can affect current feelings and behaviour. This approach is useful for those coping with relationship difficulties, parenting concerns or attachment-related stress.

She also uses client-centred therapy, which focuses on listening carefully and offering a respectful, non-judgemental space so people can explore their own goals and solutions. This approach supports self-exploration, confidence building and clearer decision making.

Cognitive behavioural therapy is used to identify and gently challenge unhelpful thinking and develop practical coping strategies for anxiety, stress and mood concerns. It often pairs well with reflective approaches to create both insight and actionable steps.

Choosing the right method is part of the therapeutic process. Jacqueline works collaboratively with each person to identify which approaches fit their needs, goals and preferences, and she adapts the work over time as circumstances change.

Online therapy with Jacqueline can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. These options provide flexibility for people balancing work, family or geographic constraints and make it easier to access appropriately qualified or registered professionals and therapists from different locations.
