Jenny Cleary, NCPS

Jenny Cleary is a counsellor who combines a person-centred, creative approach with clear, practical guidance. She aims to meet people where they are and move at a pace that feels manageable. Her style is gentle but direct, focusing on small, steady steps rather than big leaps.

With nine years of experience, Jenny draws on a mix of approaches to suit each person. She uses elements from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside client-centred principles. That lets her tailor sessions to the issue at hand and the individual's way of coping.

Jenny helps people untangle problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties. She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strain, career pressure, and life changes. Additional focuses include attachment concerns, adoption and foster care issues, neurodiversity like autism, body image, and chronic illness or pain.

Work in sessions often begins by clarifying values and practical goals. Conversations explore thoughts, feelings and behaviour, and introduce tools to manage hard moments. Jenny also encourages body-mind awareness and creative methods when these help someone access new perspectives.

Sessions are offered in English and can be delivered online to international clients. Jenny holds the NCPS credential. Costs vary by location and are managed through a cancellable subscription model.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take action consistent with those values. It focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to practical steps toward a fuller life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers simple techniques to change unhelpful patterns and reduce distress. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current ways of relating and can help with intimacy, trust and communication challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try ideas and adjust methods so the approach fits the person's needs and pace.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people meet face to face without travel, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief updates, between-session support or those who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping the focus on meaningful change.
