There’s something really special about seeing someone step forward and share what they have to offer. 💛

I’ve loved being part of Jaclyn Hall’s Resource Therapy journey. From an experienced counsellor, to Advanced Clinical Resource Therapist, and now Trainer, it has been such a joy to see her confidence and passion grow.

In our latest Resourceful Therapist conversation, Jaclyn shares a beautiful experience of a double bridge that connected her with a childhood moment of truly being seen.

And I love what has unfolded since.

Jaclyn has now stepped into the training room herself, bringing her warmth, experience and clinical wisdom to other therapists. We chat about the fun of running her first Resource Therapy training, working with experienced practitioners, and watching people discover the model through actually experiencing the work.

There’s something quite lovely about that circle.

Being seen. Discovering what you have to offer. Then finding the courage to share it with others.

Jaclyn, I’m so glad to have been part of the journey and to see you sharing your talents, gifts and passion for helping people heal. I’m excited to see where it takes you next. 💛

And for therapists who love parts work but want a clearer clinical roadmap, we explore why compassion and clinical structure can belong together, and how structure can help answer that familiar therapy-room question:

What do I do next? 🧭

What do you value most in parts work: compassion, structure, or the combination of both?

29/07/2026

Compassion helps us meet the part. Clinical structure helps us know what to do next.

For many therapists, the appeal of parts work is deeply human. We can recognise that different parts of us can carry fear, hurt, conflict, strength and possibility.

But in the therapy room, recognition is only the beginning.

Which part needs our attention? What is happening for that part? And what do we do next?

In our latest Resourceful Therapist conversation, I talk with experienced counsellor and Resource Therapy Trainer Jaclyn Hall about why compassion and clinical structure don’t need to compete.

We also explore Jaclyn’s own experience of Resource Therapy, the moment the work became deeply personal, and what happened when she took the brave next step from practitioner to teaching Resource Therapy herself.

If you love parts work but find yourself wanting a clearer clinical roadmap, this conversation and the accompanying blog is for you.

And one would like everyone to know there are snacks. 😂
