About Jackie
Jackie Kenworthy is an NCPS-credentialed counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 25 years of professional experience. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, work through family and parenting concerns, and navigate career difficulties. Jackie also supports those dealing with relationship problems, grief, addictions and the everyday strain of caring roles.
Her approach is grounded in clear, person-focused conversations. She listens to what someone brings and uses practical tools from recognised talking therapies to help people cope and make decisions. Sessions tend to focus on current difficulties, improving communication, and developing ways to handle change.
Jackie draws on a mix of methods including client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques and emotion-focused ideas. That combination is often used for managing strong emotions, shifting unhelpful thinking patterns, and improving how people relate to others. Mindfulness practices and skills from dialectical behaviour approaches are also part of her toolkit when they suit a person’s goals.
She has additional experience addressing issues such as attachment difficulties, blended family challenges, body image, cancer-related distress, and compassion fatigue. Jackie also works with people concerned about ADHD, eating and sleeping problems, and communication or control issues.
To begin, prospective clients use the site’s short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Jackie aims to make the initial steps straightforward and practical for adults dealing with pressures at home or at work.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online work can help
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people clarify feelings and make decisions without pressure. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and offers specific exercises to shift unhelpful habits. Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) provides skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jackie will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest which methods might suit them best. That choice is made together and may change as therapy progresses.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around family and work commitments and reducing travel time. Confirm the exact session options before booking using the matching questionnaire, since formats are recorded at sign-up. Many people find online appointments make it easier to have a short check-in between commitments or to choose a quieter time of day for a longer conversation.
