About Jenny
Jenny Cleary is a counsellor who works from a person-centred perspective and draws on nature and art in her practice. She takes a gentle but direct approach and aims to meet people at their own pace. Her work often focuses on helping people reconnect with what brings them joy and move past ways of thinking that feel stuck.
She uses an integrative style that combines person-centred work with approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. Sessions begin by looking at personal values and what matters most to the individual. From there she helps people link thinking, feeling and behaviour to make changes that fit their life.
Her areas of focus include stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and depression. She also helps with anger, addictions, grief, intimacy-related concerns, sleep and eating difficulties, parenting strains and career challenges. Additional work covers ADHD, attachment issues and bereavement among other concerns.
Jenny explains her methods in simple terms and uses creative elements when they suit a person’s needs. She encourages bringing mind and body together as part of the therapeutic process. Over time she supports people in finding a clearer sense of self and living more in line with their values.
Jenny is registered NCPS and has nine years of experience. She provides counselling from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English to international clients as needed.

How therapeutic approaches can work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and committed action. It helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting locked into them, and then take steps that match what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change patterns that cause distress. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships influence current closeness and trust issues and can help people understand relational patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The counsellor will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person’s needs and preferences. Goals, comfort with different techniques and the pace of work guide decisions about which approaches to emphasise.
Please confirm which session formats are available before booking, as options are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing a shorter check-in during a work break or removing the need to be on camera if that helps. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets and creative activities for remote sessions so therapy stays practical and focused.
