About Jenny
Jenny Cleary is a counsellor who works from a person-centred foundation and blends creative, practical methods to suit each person. She brings nine years of experience and an approachable, gentle but direct style. Her work often focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting concerns and other life challenges.
Jenny uses everyday language to help people reconnect with what matters to them. Jenny begins by helping people clarify their values and what brings them joy.
Background and approach
She encourages small, workable steps rather than big sudden changes. Sessions are tailored to individual needs and may include reflective conversation, goal-setting, and practical coping tools drawn from cognitive and behavioural methods. Her approach also pays attention to attachment and emotional patterns that shape relationships.
She helps people notice how past experiences influence current choices and supports them to try different ways of relating. This can be useful for intimacy-related issues, communication problems and attachment concerns. Jenny values integrating body and mind in therapy.
That can mean checking in with physical reactions, exploring soothing practices, or finding creative ways to express difficult feelings. People seeking help for grief, trauma, addiction or compassion fatigue may find this broader approach helpful. She holds NCPS as a professional credential and works with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered online through video calls, phone, live chat or messaging. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session.

Therapeutic approaches suited to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what truly matters to them and make committed changes that match their values. It uses simple exercises to accept difficult thoughts while choosing value-led actions, which can help with anxiety, stress and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It offers clear strategies for changing unhelpful thought patterns and building practical skills for sleeping better, managing worry and coping with low mood.
Attachment-Based Therapy emphasises how past relationships shape current emotional patterns. It helps people understand those patterns and try new ways of relating, which can be useful for intimacy and communication difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and decide together which methods fit a person's needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process means approaches can be mixed and adjusted as sessions progress.
Online sessions offer flexibility for different routines and situations. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting and daily life while keeping the focus on practical progress.
