About Jackie
Jackie Kenworthy is a counsellor registered as NCPS in the United Kingdom with 25 years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, family and parenting difficulties, career problems, relationship issues and grief. Jackie also supports those coping with addictions, eating and sleeping concerns, ADHD and compassion fatigue.
Her practice starts by listening to what is most pressing. She helps clients name feelings and patterns that get in the way. Jackie uses clear, direct conversation to identify small changes that make day-to-day life easier.
Jackie commonly uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how emotions and attachment shape interactions. She pairs that with Client-Centred methods that centre the client's perspective. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy tools are used when practical skills are helpful for managing anxiety, sleep or urges.
She has additional experience supporting issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, autism and Asperger Syndrome, blended family concerns, body image and codependency. Jackie also works with people facing cancer, bereavement and the fallout from natural or human-caused disasters.
Clients can expect straightforward sessions that focus on what they want to change. Jackie invites people to try an initial session to see how the approach fits. The practise encourages prospective clients to follow the site's booking steps to begin.
How her approaches translate to online work
Jackie commonly uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people name and work with strong emotions and attachment patterns that affect relationships. EFT looks at how feelings shape interactions and helps people find different ways to respond when emotions run high.She also uses Client-Centred Therapy, which puts the client's experience at the centre of sessions and supports people to express what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy provides practical tools to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour, useful for anxiety, sleep and coping with urges.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jackie will talk with clients about goals and preferences and decide together which methods to use. This collaborative planning makes it easier to focus on what will help most in day-to-day life.
