About Jenny

Jenny Cleary NCPS blends a person-centred outlook with practical therapy techniques. She takes a gentle but direct approach and aims to meet people where they are. Her style is creative and down-to-earth, drawing on a background in nature and art to shape sessions. Jenny focuses on sleep and rest alongside concerns such as stress, anxiety and depression.

She helps people untangle beliefs and patterns that feel stuck or limiting. Early sessions often look at values and priorities to find what matters most. Conversations may include coping skills, behaviour changes and emotional regulation exercises.

Jenny uses a mix of methods to fit each person’s needs, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas. She weaves these together from a person-centred foundation to keep the work practical and humane.

Her approach also encourages connecting body and mind. That can mean gentle grounding, breath work or noticing how rest and movement affect mood and sleep. Those techniques are offered alongside talking and problem-solving.

With nine years of practice, Jenny supports people through grief, relationship difficulties, addiction concerns and life transitions. She also works with issues such as ADHD, chronic illness, body image and career stress. Sessions aim to help people find more ease, better sleep and clearer direction.

Jenny is based in the United Kingdom and works in English. Prospective clients who want to begin can follow the site process to match and schedule a first session.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small steps towards a life that matters to them, while learning to live with difficult thoughts. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behaviours that keep problems like anxiety and insomnia going. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people develop more secure ways of relating to themselves and others.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jenny will discuss options with each person and adapt methods to fit goals, pace and preferences. The process is collaborative: the therapist and client decide together what to focus on and when to try different tools.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the formats offered before booking as the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around daily life, cut travel time and allow shorter check-ins when days are busy. It also lets people continue work while living in a different region, since international clients are accepted. Practical benefits include more flexible scheduling and easier access to a therapist who uses values-based, CBT and attachment-informed techniques.
