About Jenny
Jenny Cleary is a counsellor who blends a person-centred stance with several evidence-based methods. She offers a calm, direct presence and matches her pace to each person. Her work focuses on helping people untangle beliefs that feel stuck and reconnect with what brings them joy. Jenny holds NCPS as a credential and practices in the United Kingdom.
She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding. Attachment-based ideas also shape sessions, especially when past relationships affect present choices. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills are used when people need help managing intense emotions.
Jenny uses a creative, integrative style that brings in art and nature influences when helpful. She starts by clarifying values so that goals feel meaningful and practical. Sessions often include simple exercises, behavioural experiments and reflection to make change feel possible in day-to-day life.
Her areas of focus include stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, addictions, grief and coping with life changes. She also supports people with ADHD, intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, and career challenges. Midlife crisis is listed among the issues she addresses.
Jenny aims to create a supportive space where people can reconnect with themselves and try new ways forward. The work is collaborative and paced to what each person needs. She encourages integrating body and mind as part of long-term change.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters and take small committed steps towards those values. It focuses on accepting difficult thoughts while choosing actions that match personal goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and uses practical tasks to shift unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationships shape current ways of relating and supports building new, healthier patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will collaborate with each person to decide which methods best fit their needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change as progress is made and as priorities shift.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm current session options before booking because the biography does not specify formats. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into busy lives, for example by saving travel time, making it easier to schedule short check-ins around work, or allowing easier access for those living further from services. Therapists who offer remote sessions often adapt exercises and homework so they work well in everyday settings.
