About Jenny

Jenny Cleary NCPS is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with nine years of clinical experience. She works with people coping with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and addictions. She also supports those facing grief, intimacy questions, sleeping or eating struggles, parenting stress, career changes and ADHD-related issues.

Jenny blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy with client-centred and attachment-based ways of working. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavioural techniques when they suit the person’s needs. Sessions often begin by looking at values and what really matters to the client.

Her style balances gentle attention with clear direction. She pays attention to feelings that are hard to name and to patterns that repeat in close relationships. This can help people notice how they react under stress and try different ways of relating to themselves and others.

Jenny often encourages work that links body and mind. That can include practical steps to manage difficult emotions between sessions and creative ways of noticing what brings energy or drains it. She mentions a background in nature and art as influences on her therapeutic approach.

People who want therapy are invited to think about what they value and the changes they want to make. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online work

Jenny uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and name difficult emotions and to notice how those feelings shape relationship patterns. EFT is often useful when emotion and attachment experiences are central to the problem. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small committed steps toward those values, which can be useful for anxiety, depression and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and close relationships affect current ways of relating and can help with abandonment, attachment issues and recurring relationship patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jenny will talk with each person about which methods fit their goals, needs and preferences. That conversation is collaborative and can change over time as progress is reviewed.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people combine verbal work with creative or body-focused exercises at home if that helps the therapeutic process.
