About Jenny
Jenny Cleary is a counsellor who blends Trauma-Focused work with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-informed thinking. She takes a gentle but direct approach and meets people where they are. Her style is creative and person-centred, with an emphasis on values and what matters to each person.
Jenny often begins by helping people reconnect with what brings them joy. She notices where beliefs or past patterns feel stuck, and works at a pace the client finds manageable.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to help people recognise their values and make small changes that feel meaningful. Her background in nature and art informs a creative practice. She often invites practical exercises that link body and mind.
These might include mindful awareness, simple behavioural steps, or reflective exercises tailored to the individual. Jenny has nine years of experience and holds NCPS as a credential. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression.
She also works with issues such as addiction, eating and sleeping difficulties, grief, anger and career transitions. Additional focus areas include attachment concerns, adoption and foster care issues, neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome, caregiver stress, chronic illness and other complex life challenges. She supports LGBT people and those working through intimacy and family-related concerns.
Sessions can be delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. Jenny aims to collaborate on goals from the first meeting and adjusts the approach as needs change.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people address the effects of distressing experiences by gently processing memories and learning ways to manage strong feelings. It can be useful for those who notice past events shaping current moods, relationships or reactions.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, focuses on identifying personal values and taking small, committed actions towards them. It helps people stay present with difficult thoughts while building a life that matters to them.
Attachment-Based ideas look at how early relationships shape expectations and patterns. This approach can help someone understand why they may react strongly in close relationships and try new ways of connecting.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences and what feels manageable. Together they will choose or adjust methods as the work progresses so the approach fits the person rather than the other way round.
Online therapy offers practical benefits such as scheduling flexibility and easier access from different locations. Video calls allow face-to-face connection, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and text or live chat formats suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care around work, travel or busy family life.
