About Jenny
NCPS. Nine years' experience. Jenny Cleary is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression and a wide range of related concerns. She uses a person-centred starting point and draws on several approaches to help people make practical changes and feel more like themselves.
Jenny describes her way of working as gentle but direct. She pays attention to a person's pace and aims to be present without pushing. Sessions begin by looking at values and what matters to the individual, then move towards small steps to realign day-to-day life with those values.
Her practice blends person-centred principles with elements from cognitive behavioural methods and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. She also uses attachment-aware ideas and techniques from dialectical approaches when they suit the issue. The overall aim is to combine talking and practical strategies so people can try different ways of responding to difficulties.
Jenny has a background in nature and art, and she sometimes brings creative ideas into counselling when they help a person express things words do not. She talks with people about how thoughts, feelings and body sensations link together, and how small behaviour changes can reduce distress.
She lists many specific concerns she works on, including grief, addiction, intimacy problems, eating and sleeping issues, parenting strain, ADHD, chronic illness and caregiver stress. International clients may be accepted and sessions are conducted in English.
To start, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and difficulty making changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns formed in relationships and how these affect current connections and trust. It is often used when relationship patterns or past caregiving matter. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of the work, emphasising being listened to and exploring what the client values and wants to change.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss problems, goals and preferences together and recommend which methods to try. That choice can change over time as needs and priorities shift, and decisions are made collaboratively rather than imposed.
The biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or travel. It can also allow for shorter check-ins or not using video if that suits a person better. Registered or accredited professionals and counsellors commonly offer online appointments to help people maintain continuity of care and access support without long journeys.
