About Jenny

Jenny Cleary NCPS is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with nine years' experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. Her practice also covers areas such as addictions, grief, parenting concerns, sleep and eating difficulties, and ADHD-related challenges.

Jenny uses a person-centred base and mixes in practical approaches to suit each person. Sessions focus on identifying what matters to the client and on practical steps they can try between meetings. She often brings creative and experiential ideas into sessions, drawing on her background in nature and art.

Her style aims to be direct while respecting a client's pace. Conversations look at beliefs and patterns that feel stuck, and at small changes that can shift day-to-day experience. Techniques may include exercises from acceptance and commitment work and cognitive behavioural ideas to manage difficult thoughts and feelings.

Jenny also pays attention to attachment and relationship patterns. That can help people understand how early experiences affect current relationships and communication. Where helpful, she uses skills from dialectical approaches to build emotional regulation and steadier responses.

People can expect practical focus on values, self-awareness and coping strategies. Jenny encourages gentle engagement with body and mind, including creative ways to explore feelings. To begin, she asks about what matters most and then co‑creates the next steps together.

How her approaches translate to online work

Jenny draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as part of her online practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking manageable actions that align with those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical strategies to test and change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach tends to be a collaborative process. Jenny will work with the client to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adapt techniques as sessions progress. The plan is reviewed together so adjustments can be made when something is not working.

The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to try creative or experiential exercises between meetings. Registered or accredited professionals can guide practical steps to help sessions fit into everyday life.
