About Jenny
Jenny Cleary is an NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with nine years' experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, parenting pressures and relationship concerns. Her listed interests also include trauma and abuse, grief, addiction, LGBT issues and a wide range of family and life-stage challenges.
Jenny uses a person-centred base and combines several practical approaches. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas. Sessions focus on recognising values, spotting unhelpful patterns and learning simple skills to cope day to day.
Her style is calm and direct. She helps people untangle beliefs or habits that leave them feeling stuck. Work can cover emotional regulation, changing routine responses, and rebuilding a sense of what brings joy and meaning.
Parents and adults concerned about family roles, blended family tensions or parenting strain may find particular relevance in her work. Jenny also addresses issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care experiences, and attachment-related difficulties in adult relationships.
Practical tools, creative exercises and attention to body and mind are part of her approach. Clients can expect gentle exploration of values, steady skill-building and time to notice small shifts. The focus is on helping people feel more settled and able to make choices that fit their life.
To begin, people are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the website.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps towards those values. It uses mindfulness and practical exercises to reduce the hold of difficult thoughts. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and gives clear tools for changing unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns show up now and supports new ways of relating and feeling safer in close connections.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will check what a person needs and prefers, and together they will decide which methods to try. That decision is reviewed as therapy progresses so the plan stays relevant to practical goals and daily life.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into parenting routines, work breaks or when travel is difficult. They also allow brief check-ins, exercises between meetings and written follow-ups that help skills stick. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises so learning transfers into everyday household life.
