About Jenny

Jenny Cleary is a therapist who blends a person-centred outlook with practical, everyday tools. She brings nine years of experience and works from a gentle but direct stance, meeting people where they are. Jenny encourages clients to reconnect with what brings them joy and to notice the thoughts and everyday habits that shape their lives.

She uses an integrative approach that draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and attachment-informed ideas to suit each person. Sessions begin by looking at values and what matters most, then build small, workable steps to shift unhelpful patterns. The focus is on thoughts and everyday habits as a way to change how life feels day to day.

Jenny also pays attention to the link between body and mind. She invites creative ways to explore feelings, drawing on her background in nature and art to personalise the work. That can include simple activities to notice bodily signals and to develop new routines that support wellbeing.

Common themes she helps people with include stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, addiction and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with trauma, attachment questions and identity concerns such as LGBT matters.

Jenny is registered with NCPS and works with English-speaking clients in the United Kingdom. She aims to create a calm, steady space so people can take the next step toward living in line with their values.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety and getting unstuck by focusing on what matters rather than trying to control every thought. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, low mood and daily habits. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current ways of connecting and can be helpful for relationship, intimacy and attachment concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss the options and collaboratively choose techniques that suit the client's goals and preferences. That may mean using ACT tools one week and simpler CBT strategies the next, all guided by what the person finds most useful.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people find video useful for face-to-face conversation, while others prefer audio-only sessions to reduce screen time; discuss practical arrangements with the therapist to find what fits your routine.
