About Jenny

Jenny Cleary, NCPS, works from a person-centred base and blends practical therapies with creative, nature-informed ideas. She keeps sessions gentle but direct and meets people at their own pace. Her aim is to help people reconnect with what brings them joy and move past habits or beliefs that feel trapping.

She uses a mix of approaches to suit each person rather than one fixed method. Early work focuses on clarifying values so choices match what matters. Sessions often include talking, reflective exercises and simple practical steps to make change feel possible.

Jenny describes her style as integrative and creative. She brings elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas into a person-centred way of working. That means listening closely, noticing patterns and trying out small shifts that can add up over time.

She also pays attention to how the body and mind interact. This can mean gentle movement, grounding practices or arts-based prompts when these fit someone’s needs. The aim is to help people feel more settled and more themselves.

Jenny has nine years of experience. She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship and attachment issues, bereavement, addiction and adoption and foster care related matters. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful when life feels stuck or when anxiety and avoidance limit daily choices.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating and how early experiences shape current connections. It can help people understand why they react in certain ways and practise more helpful ways of connecting with others and themselves.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That may mean trying an approach for a few sessions and adjusting as progress and feedback shape the plan.

Confirm the available session options before booking so you know how therapy will be delivered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around busy days, cut travel time and offer shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow use of creative prompts, breathing or grounding exercises during a session to support values-focused and attachment-informed work. Registered or accredited professionals aim to make online sessions as practical and applicable as face-to-face meetings.
