Jenny Cleary, NCPS

Jenny Cleary works from a person-centred base and combines practical talking therapy with creative, gentle direction. She aims to help people notice what matters to them and move toward a more satisfying life. Jenny keeps sessions calm and straightforward, meeting people at their own pace.

She brings nine years of experience and an NCPS credential. That background shapes a style that is warm and patient, yet clear about next steps. Sessions focus on values, everyday choices, and small changes that add up over time.

Jenny draws on several approaches to suit different needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts without getting stuck, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding. Attachment-based ideas and client-centred work inform how she supports emotional connection and self-understanding.

In practice she helps with stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, addictions, and challenges around identity and LGBT matters. She also supports people facing grief, caregiver strain, chronic illness, or life changes such as adoption and blended family concerns.

Sessions often include exploring values, practical coping skills, and creative ways to bring body and mind together. Jenny encourages small experiments between sessions to test new habits. She invites people to take things at a manageable pace and to build on what already works.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without trying to force them away, then choose actions that match their values; it is useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers practical experiments to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with stress, sleep and mood problems. Attachment-based ideas focus on how early relationships shape current ways of relating and can help with intimacy, communication and trust issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to the client’s goals and preferences. That may mean combining elements from different approaches and checking in regularly to see what is helping.

Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, such as saving travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or choosing sessions without video when that feels easier. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, values work and practical coping strategies to an online setting so therapy can fit around everyday commitments.
