About Jacqueline
Jacqueline Zdravkovski is an AASW social worker with nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationships and the everyday challenges that affect sleep and rest. Jacqueline uses clear, practical conversations to help people feel heard and begin small changes.
Her approach is warm and non-judgemental. She aims to create an open space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about honestly. Jacqueline encourages gentle skills practice so people can try things between sessions and notice what helps.
She draws on therapies that focus on values, present moment awareness and emotional connection to guide sessions. That mix helps with low mood, motivation, self-esteem and the strain of life transitions. Jacqueline also supports people facing grief, compassion fatigue and work-related stress.
Jacqueline works with issues that often overlap with sleep and rest problems, such as anxiety, racing thoughts and overwhelming days. She talks through practical steps to improve routines and coping strategies without promising quick fixes. Sessions are collaborative - decisions about direction come from the person attending.
Her style is straightforward and calm. Jacqueline recognises that starting therapy can feel hard and she aims to make the first steps easier. She invites people to book and try a conversation to see if the approach fits.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, sleep disruption and when life changes make routines hard to keep. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing practical changes in behaviour. CBT is often used for worry, low mood and sleep-related patterns.Choosing the best approach is part of the therapy process. Jacqueline works collaboratively to understand a person's goals, preferences and daily routines, then experiments with techniques to see what fits. The approach can shift over time as progress and needs change.
If you are considering online sessions, check the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make fitting sessions into busy weeks easier, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support working on sleep and rest routines by practicing skills in the environments where people live and sleep. Jacqueline will discuss what works best for timing and structure during the first conversations.
