Jill Malcolm

Jill Malcolm is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, self-esteem struggles, and questions about life direction and motivation. Jill also supports people dealing with grief, eating and mood difficulties, and challenges linked to ADHD and intimacy-related issues.

Jill keeps sessions straightforward. She listens without judgement and helps people talk through what matters most to them. Conversations focus on present difficulties and practical next steps rather than labels. She aims to help clients find small, steady changes that feel manageable.

Her way of working draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness techniques to reduce unhelpful avoidance and develop values-based action. Attachment-based ideas guide conversations about relationship patterns and closeness. Client-centred principles mean the client’s perspective shapes the session plan.

In practice Jill helps people notice their thoughts and sensations, decide what really matters, and try out different ways of responding. She offers straightforward exercises and reflective conversation to test what fits in day-to-day life. Sessions can include breath-based grounding, values clarification, and working with communication skills for difficult conversations.

People often come for a few sessions to resolve a specific problem, or for a longer series when they are re-evaluating work or relationships. Jill asks new clients to describe their current situation and hopes for therapy so she can suggest an appropriate way forward.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take small actions that line up with their values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, low motivation and decisions about life direction. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships, helping clients understand why they feel guarded or distant and practise new ways of connecting. Mindfulness Therapy offers simple exercises for grounding and attention that reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jill treats the choice of method as collaborative. She will talk with the client about goals, try techniques in session, and adjust the approach based on what helps in everyday life rather than sticking to one fixed method.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking so you know what to expect. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, for example by saving travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or removing the need to be on camera for some conversations. These practical options can help therapy become a regular part of life while exploring values, relationships and next steps.
