About Jenny

Jenny Cleary is a counsellor who blends person-centred care with practical therapy methods. She works in a gentle but direct way and meets people at their own pace. Her background in nature and art shapes a creative, down-to-earth style. Jenny draws on nine years of experience and holds the NCPS credential.

Jenny helps people untangle feelings that leave them stuck or unsure. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside attachment-aware and client-centred techniques. Sessions look at values and practical steps, not just ideas. The aim is to find small, realistic changes that feel meaningful.

Her approach is collaborative and plainspoken. She listens first, then suggests options that suit each person. Creativity and body-awareness may be invited when helpful, such as simple grounding or expressive exercises. These are offered alongside talking and problem-solving.

Common concerns she supports include stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy worries, and challenges linked to chronic illness and caregiving. She also works with issues like ADHD, eating and sleeping problems, addiction, and identity concerns including LGBT-related matters.

Jenny places early focus on values and what brings joy. That helps guide goal-setting and practical work in later sessions. People can expect straightforward conversations, tools to manage difficult moments, and encouragement to reconnect with what matters.

Her practice is intended for adults who want an approachable, values-led way to cope with life changes and long-term health or stress-related challenges.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Jenny commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas alongside client-centred listening. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and commit to actions that match their values, which can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with long-term health issues. Attachment-informed work looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how past bonds shape current reactions and needs.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. That may mean mixing values-focused exercises, practical CBT-style tools and attuned conversations about relationships.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into busy days and reduced travel time. If you hope to work remotely, confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online options can make it simpler to maintain continuity through life changes and to check in when energy or mobility is limited. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt activities for video or audio sessions, such as brief behavioural experiments, values exercises or grounding techniques, so therapy can slot into everyday life without needing large time commitments.
