About Jackie
Jackie Kenworthy is a counsellor with 25 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She holds NCPS and aims to make the space calm and straightforward for people who are finding life hard. Jackie focuses on practical ways to ease stress, manage anxiety and improve sleep and rest where those are causing daily strain.
Her approach is conversational and down to earth. She creates a non-judgemental atmosphere where clients can talk about family and parenting worries, relationship difficulties, career concerns and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with grief, addictive behaviours, eating concerns and compassion fatigue.
Jackie uses a mix of methods to suit each person’s needs. She draws on client-centred work to follow what matters to the person in front of her, and she uses cognitive behavioural tools to help change unhelpful thinking and routines. Dialectical behaviour therapy ideas and mindfulness practice are added when emotional regulation or stress reduction are priorities.
Clients can expect straightforward language, clear goals and gentle challenge when needed. Jackie has experience helping people with ADHD, attachment and relationship patterns, autism and related social concerns. She also addresses issues such as abandonment, codependency, body image and coping after physical illness.
If someone is unsure where to begin, Jackie encourages a first step of answering a short questionnaire and arranging an initial session. That initial conversation is used to agree on practical goals and a working plan together.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-centred therapy puts the client’s concerns first and focuses on listening, reflecting and following what matters most to the person. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to understand feelings and priorities. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact, and it uses practical exercises and routines to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing strong emotions and building steady routines for everyday life.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit the issues at hand. Together they will review what seems to help and adjust the plan as work proceeds so the approach stays useful and realistic.
Please confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify them here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to practice behavioural tasks between meetings and to bring real-life sleep and rest routines into discussion during sessions.
