Jackie Kenworthy, NCPS

Jackie Kenworthy uses a people-centred approach to help clients make sense of stressful and painful moments. She is presented as warm and straightforward, and she focuses on listening carefully before suggesting practical steps. Jackie has NCPS after her name, which denotes her credential in the UK.

She has 25 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. That time has included supporting people facing anxiety, stress and relationship tensions. She also helps with parenting worries, career changes, grief and addictive behaviours. Jackie pays attention to how life events and family patterns affect day-to-day coping.

In sessions she aims to make talking feel easier. She offers a calm space where people can say what is on their mind and feel heard. From there she helps identify patterns, try small experiments and build clearer routines for sleep, eating and work-life balance.

Jackie draws on a mix of practical tools and emotional work. She uses approaches such as cognitive behavioural ideas, mindfulness exercises and emotionally-focused listening. For some people, skills from dialectical work help manage intense feelings and keep relationships steady.

Getting started usually begins with a short matching questionnaire and then arranging times that fit. Jackie supports people who want coaching-style guidance as well as those who prefer to explore feelings more slowly. Her practice is pragmatic, down-to-earth and aimed at helping clients feel a bit more in control each week.

How Jackie’s approaches translate to online therapy

Jackie uses client-centred therapy to focus on what matters to the person in front of her. This approach means she listens deeply, follows the client's concerns and shapes sessions around those priorities. It helps when someone needs a trusted space to talk and be understood.

She also applies cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at how thoughts, behaviours and feelings connect. CBT offers practical steps such as scheduling, thought records and small behavioural experiments that are easy to try between sessions. Dialectical behaviour therapy contributes skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication during times of conflict.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Jackie discusses goals and preferences with each client and adjusts methods over time. She works collaboratively to find what feels most helpful, whether that is skills-based work, deeper emotional exploration, or a mixture of both.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a full conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit short check-ins or ongoing support between longer meetings. These options make scheduling more flexible and can help fit therapy into a busy life.
