Jenny Cleary, NCPS

Jenny Cleary is a counsellor (NCPS) with nine years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, addiction and anger. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use day to day to reduce overwhelm and respond differently to difficult emotions.

Jenny draws on client-centred practice alongside cognitive and behavioural ideas. She blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) tools with attachment-based thinking. That mix is used to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try small, steady changes.

Her style is straightforward and gentle. Conversations often begin by clarifying values and what matters to the person. From there she helps clients test new responses, build coping skills and work through past hurts that keep repeating today.

Sessions may include exploring body awareness, creative exercises and practical skill-building. The focus is on simple, usable strategies for everyday life - managing stress at work, handling tense moments with others, or soothing strong feelings when they arise.

Jenny also supports people facing identity and diversity concerns, including LGBT issues, as well as a wide range of other struggles such as parenting stress, chronic illness and codependency. She invites a collaborative working relationship where the client’s goals guide the plan.
