About Jenny
Jenny Cleary is a therapist based in the United Kingdom who blends person-centred work with practical psychological approaches. She uses a gentle but direct style and meets people where they are. She aims to help people who feel stuck, trapped by old beliefs, or who have lost sight of what brings them joy.
Her approach mixes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and attachment-based ideas with client-centred listening. Sessions focus on identifying values and small, achievable steps that reflect what matters to the individual.
Background and approach
This gives structure while keeping the work personal and flexible. Jenny brings nine years of experience and holds the NCPS credential. She often encourages combining body and mind work and may use creative ways to help people notice patterns and try new responses.
Practical strategies are balanced with compassionate listening. She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, addictions, grief and parenting challenges. Phobias are included among the issues she lists, so people worried about persistent fears may find relevant support.
Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged online. The emphasis is on a collaborative journey - exploring values, developing coping skills and helping each person move towards a life that feels more authentic and manageable.
Therapeutic approaches that translate well online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps towards those values. It focuses on noticing thoughts without getting stuck and committing to actions that reflect personal priorities, which can help with anxiety, low mood and phobias.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical techniques to test unhelpful beliefs and build new coping strategies, useful for stress, panic, phobias and many everyday problems.
Attachment-Based Therapy examines patterns of relating and how early experiences shape current relationships. It can help people understand why they respond to close connections in certain ways and try different approaches that feel safer and more fulfilling.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals, listen to your preferences and recommend methods that fit your needs. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as you go along.
Online therapy offers flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions are good when bandwidth or camera use is difficult, and live chat or text messaging can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and travel while keeping a steady therapeutic process.
