About Jenny
Counsellor Jenny Cleary is registered with NCPS and has nine years' experience working in the United Kingdom with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports people facing addictions, grief, parenting strains, career concerns and a wide range of other life challenges. Sessions are delivered in English and international clients are accepted.
Jenny blends a person-centred stance with practical therapeutic tools. She begins by helping people clarify their values and what matters to them. From there she uses approaches such as acceptance and commitment techniques, cognitive work and emotion-focused ideas to help people make small, achievable changes.
Her way of working is straightforward and paced to the individual. Jenny listens to current struggles and then introduces practices that fit daily life. That can mean working on unhelpful thinking, building emotion regulation skills, or addressing patterns rooted in early attachments.
She often draws on creativity and nature in sessions, using artful or reflective exercises where they help the work. These activities aim to connect thoughts and bodily experience, and to make progress feel concrete rather than abstract.
Jenny has particular interest in attachment issues, adoption and foster care, autism and Asperger syndrome, abandonment and blended family concerns. She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiving stress and recovery from traumatic events.
People are invited to take things at a pace that suits them and to discuss practical steps between meetings. To start, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange an initial session through the site's booking flow.
Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings and still act in line with what matters to them. It focuses on clarifying values and learning small practical steps that fit into everyday life, which can help with anxiety, low mood and stress.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns that began in early relationships and how they affect current connections. It helps people understand repeating cycles and try different ways of relating that reduce conflict and emotional distance.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and decide together which methods suit the person's needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative planning can include trying different techniques and adjusting them as sessions progress.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list formats. When arranged, online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, caring duties or travel. They also allow shorter check-ins or sessions without video when that suits the person, making it simpler to keep momentum between meetings. Registered or accredited professionals can use these methods to deliver practical, evidence-based tools in a way that fits daily life.
