About Jackie
Jackie Kenworthy is a counsellor registered as NCPS in the United Kingdom with 25 years of experience. She works with people who are struggling with stress and anxiety, family and parenting tensions, career pressures and relationship difficulties.
Jackie focuses on straightforward conversation and practical steps. She listens to what matters to each person and helps them map out small changes they can try. Sessions are intended to be a place to speak about fears, pressures and conflicts without judgement.
Her background includes work with relationship issues and couples concerns, alongside broader support for grief, addiction, eating and sleeping problems, and challenges linked to ADHD. She has worked across many areas that affect daily life, such as body image, codependency and communication problems.
Jackie uses a mix of approaches depending on what the person needs. She draws on client-centred ways of listening, cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thinking, and elements of emotion-focused and mindfulness work to manage strong feelings.
In practice she helps people set clear goals and try practical strategies between sessions. That may include simple behaviour changes, paced exposure to feared situations, or exercises to improve how someone talks about needs in relationships. The focus is on what can be done now to reduce stress and regain a measure of control.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online work
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of each session. The counsellor listens without directing, helps people clarify what matters to them and supports choices about next steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behaviour changes. It is often used for anxiety, stress and problems that come from repetitive negative thinking. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for handling intense emotions and improving how someone copes when they feel overwhelmed. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Jackie will talk with the person about goals and preferences and then agree which methods to try. That collaborative approach means techniques may change as progress is made or new priorities emerge. Practical benefits of online or remote sessions can include fitting counselling into a busy day and reducing travel time. Some people prefer shorter check-ins by phone or a video session that lets them join from elsewhere; others find scheduled sessions easier to keep. The biography does not list specific session formats, so it is important to confirm which formats are currently offered before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can explain options and help arrange sessions that fit with everyday life.Areas of expertise
