About Jenny
Jenny Cleary is a counsellor who blends a person-centred approach with creative, practical techniques. She works gently and directly, matching the pace a person needs and meeting them where they are. Jenny draws on her background in nature and art to shape sessions that feel personal rather than prescriptive.
She believes people can get stuck by messages and habits they did not choose. In sessions she helps clients notice what matters to them. Then she supports practical steps to bring their life closer to those values.
Jenny uses ideas from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside attachment-based and dialectical methods. She adapts these approaches to suit each person, aiming for clear tools people can use between meetings. Work may include noticing thoughts, practising small changes, and exploring relational patterns.
Her focus includes stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, addictions, ADHD, and caregiver strain. She also supports people facing cancer, chronic illness, adoption and foster care questions, and parenting stresses.
Jenny is registered with NCPS. She has nine years of experience and works with people in the United Kingdom. Sessions are carried out in English and international clients are accepted. To begin, choose the Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Jenny draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside person-centred practices. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to small actions tied to their values, which can ease stress and help with life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and can help when communication or trust is difficult.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will collaborate with each person to see which methods fit their goals and preferences. This is a shared process that may change as progress is made and new needs emerge.
If you are considering online sessions, check the current session options before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins, or suit people who prefer not to be on camera. Many people find practical tools and values-based actions translate well to remote sessions, and the counsellor will help adapt exercises so they work in everyday life.
