About Jackie
Jackie Kenworthy is a counsellor with 25 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She uses a warm, person-focused style to help people who are stressed, anxious or facing relationship and parenting pressures. Jackie aims to make the first step feel manageable for anyone thinking about support.
She creates a calm space where people can say what they think and feel without judgment. Conversations focus on practical ways to cope with life changes, work strain and family tension.
Background and approach
Jackie also supports people dealing with grief, addictions, eating or sleeping difficulties, and challenges linked to ADHD. Jackie combines client-centred listening with evidence-informed tools from cognitive behavioural approaches and dialectical behaviour ideas. She also draws on emotionally-focused work to examine relationship patterns and on mindfulness techniques to reduce reactivity.
This mix helps people find clearer choices and steadier responses day to day. Her background includes further qualifications related to couples and relationship issues, and many years helping people navigate career decisions and parenting pressures. Jackie keeps sessions straightforward and goal-oriented when that is needed, and reflective when people want to understand long-standing patterns.
If someone prefers practical coaching around specific goals, or a deeper exploration of attachment and past wounds, Jackie adapts the work to fit each person. She offers conversations that balance support, challenge and tools people can try between sessions.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Jackie uses client-centred counselling which focuses on listening carefully and helping people find their own solutions. This approach is useful when someone needs space to talk things through and make sense of their feelings.She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, a practical method that looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. CBT is often chosen for anxiety, stress and sleep or eating problems because it gives clear strategies to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jackie will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before, and then agree on a plan that suits each person. That collaborative process helps shape whether sessions stay focused on skills, explore relationship patterns, or combine both.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video is helpful for a face-to-face feel and fuller interaction, phone sessions work when bandwidth or visual focus is a concern, live chat can fit short check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect in writing. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, parenting and busy days while still accessing consistent therapeutic support.
