About Jenny
Jenny Cleary is a counsellor who combines a person-centred stance with practical therapies to help people move past feeling stuck. She works gently and directly, matching the pace a person needs while helping them notice what matters. Jenny uses creativity and attention to body and mind to guide people back to activities and values that bring joy.
She draws on nine years of experience and an NCPS credential, using approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside client-centred work.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to identify unhelpful beliefs and find new ways of responding in day-to-day life. Jenny places emphasis on values and simple, realistic steps clients can try between sessions. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, addictions, ADHD and compassion fatigue.
She also works with practical life challenges such as career changes, parenting strain and coping with chronic illness. Jenny often brings creative and nature-based ideas into conversations, encouraging people to notice physical sensations as part of emotional change. She helps people explore attachment, adoption and abandonment themes when these are relevant to their history.
Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted. The overall aim is to help people reconnect with what feels authentic and build manageable habits so they can live in line with their values.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their values and take small actions aligned with what matters to them. It focuses on building psychological flexibility so difficult thoughts or feelings have less control over behaviour. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at connections between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns and communication, helping people understand repeated relationship difficulties and find new ways of relating.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, personal history and preferences, then suggest ways of working that fit. Clients are encouraged to give feedback so the plan can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
Online therapy here is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video can support deeper conversational work and visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief reflections, ongoing support between sessions, or when being off-camera feels better. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel while keeping continuity of care with a registered or accredited professional.
