Jenny Cleary, NCPS

Jenny Cleary is a counsellor who blends a person-centred outlook with practical therapies to help people untangle what is holding them back. She works gently but directly, matching the pace to each person and meeting them where they are. Jenny uses her background in nature and art to bring creativity into sessions and to help people reconnect with what brings them joy.

Jenny draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy alongside attachment and client-centred ways of working. She starts by helping people identify their core values and then supports them to take steps that match those values. Sessions often include talking, practical exercises and simple ways to notice body and mind together.

Her practice covers a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, addictions and ADHD. Additional focuses include attachment issues, adoption and foster care, body image and chronic illness. Jenny aims to help people feel more connected to themselves and to live in ways that feel meaningful.

Jenny holds NCPS, which is shown as her listed credential. She has nine years of experience working with clients across varied issues and life changes. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.

If someone wants to start, they complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session according to availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary by location and therapist availability.

How her approaches work for online therapy

Jenny often combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy with a person-centred way of working. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small, meaningful steps towards those values while learning to respond differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people understand and change unhelpful patterns that started in earlier relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to the person's goals, try out approaches in early sessions and adjust the plan to suit needs and preferences. Sessions aim to be practical and paced to what feels manageable for the person.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking as they are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also make it simpler to connect from different locations or time zones, which is helpful for international clients. The therapist will discuss how to structure sessions so they fit around work and daily life while working towards the changes you want.
