About Jenny
Jenny Cleary is a counsellor who blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy with a person-centred, creative approach. She works in a gentle but direct way, matching the pace to each person and offering steady support during difficult moments. Her sessions aim to help people reconnect with what brings them joy and to find clearer direction when life feels stuck.
She draws on nine years of experience and the NCPS credential to inform her practice.
Background and approach
Jenny uses a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-informed work, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. These methods are chosen to suit the person in front of her rather than to follow a single template. Early work focuses on identifying personal values and the small beliefs that hold someone back.
Conversations are practical and grounded, with attention to emotional experience as well as everyday behaviour. She encourages people to notice how their body and mind respond, and to use that information to make gradual changes. Her background in nature and art shapes a calm, reflective style.
Creative exercises and sensory awareness may be offered alongside talking. The aim is to help someone feel more at home in themselves and move towards clearer, value-driven choices. Jenny helps with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, stress, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma, grief, addictions, parenting strain, career questions and neurodiversity-related matters.
She is comfortable supporting people through life transitions and complex emotional patterns.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and work with strong feelings that shape relationships and self-view. Online sessions can use EFT to help you identify core emotions and practise new ways of responding to them. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small committed actions in line with those values. In remote work this can mean setting simple experiments between sessions and checking progress by phone or message. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect current connections and self-trust; talking through these patterns online can help people make different choices in their close relationships.Choosing the right approach is part of the process and will be a collaborative decision. The therapist will ask about your goals, what has or hasn’t helped before, and how you prefer to work. Together you can try an approach and adjust it as needed to find what fits best for your situation.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you see expressions and use screen-sharing for exercises. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for shorter check-ins, quick coping strategies and people who like writing their thoughts. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family life and travel while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
