About JacquelineJacqui
Jacqueline "Jacqui" Mancuso is a PACFA counsellor in Australia with 14 years' experience. She has worked across community settings and supported people with women's health concerns, domestic violence and sexual assault, military service-related issues, chronic health conditions, disability, carers, and students. She works with stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, grief, depression and family of origin issues.
Jacqui uses a gentle, flexible style and follows the pace a person is ready for. Sessions can focus on changing recurring patterns, taking practical steps, or simply being witnessed in difficult moments. She listens for the lived meaning in each person's situation and tracks the undercurrents shaping their reactions.
Her practice draws heavily on Existential Therapy and Internal Family Systems. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and offers creative interventions when they suit a client's preferences. Methods are explained and agreed before they are used.
In sessions Jacqui pays attention to attachment and caregiving roles, and she supports people facing midlife shifts, career questions, ongoing health problems or the stress of caring for others. She can help with intimacy-related concerns, communication problems, and the emotional work around separation or forgiveness.
Jacqui aims to work collaboratively, checking in about what feels helpful at each step. People who are most likely to benefit are those wanting to understand how early family patterns still shape behaviour and relationships now. To begin, follow the site prompts to complete the matching questionnaire and arrange a first session.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Jacqui draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based ideas and Internal Family Systems in her work. ACT helps people notice unhelpful thinking and choose actions in line with their values, which can help with anxiety, stress and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and can be useful for intimacy or family of origin concerns. Internal Family Systems works with different parts of a person’s inner experience to reduce internal conflict and increase self-understanding, and it can help with shame, grief or repeating patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jacqui will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person's goals and preferences, and she will explain options before trying them. The first sessions are often about clarifying priorities and agreeing practical steps together.
The profile does not list specific online formats, so please confirm available session types before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit appointments around work and caring commitments, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online meetings also make it possible to continue therapy while managing chronic health issues or living at a distance, and the therapist will discuss what works best for scheduling and your preferred way of working.
