About Jill

Jill Malcolm is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, motivation and self-esteem. Her work also covers grief, eating and depression, and challenges linked to ADHD and intimacy.

Jill uses straightforward conversation to help people untangle day-to-day pressures. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what the person wants to change. She listens for patterns in thinking and behaviour and helps clients notice small steps that can make life more manageable.

Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and act on those values. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how early relationships affect current trust and intimacy. Client-centred methods mean the client leads the pace and the counsellor follows their concerns.

Jill also brings mindfulness exercises into sessions when they suit the client. These are short, practical practices aimed at reducing overwhelm and improving focus rather than long meditations.

People often come to her when leaving home, starting a job, or coping with life changes that feel bigger than expected. She works with clients who want a clear, practical way to manage anxiety, rebuild confidence and improve relationships.

To begin, clients answer a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people identify what matters to them and take small, meaningful steps towards those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. It can be useful for anxiety, low motivation and the pressure of life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships that began earlier in life and how those patterns turn up now. This can help with intimacy concerns, trust issues and communication problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jill will discuss options with each client and agree a plan that fits their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and the approach can be adjusted as needs change.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into study, work or busy schedules and may allow shorter check-ins or phone-only conversations when that better suits a day. Registered or accredited professionals can help people manage practical pressures and maintain momentum between sessions without requiring travel.
