Jackie Kenworthy, NCPS

Jackie Kenworthy is an NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 25 years of experience. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, work through family and parenting problems, and address career difficulties. Jackie also supports people dealing with relationship concerns and codependency patterns.

Jackie keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what people are actually struggling with. She listens first and then helps clients notice patterns that cause repeated problems. Conversations often cover boundaries, communication, and practical coping skills for day-to-day stress.

She draws on a mix of conversation-based and skills approaches. That includes tools to manage strong emotions, techniques to shift unhelpful thinking, and ways to increase awareness of feelings in relationships. Jackie uses these methods to help people try different behaviours and notice what changes in their lives.

Clients who come because they put others first often work on saying no more clearly. Others want help when living around someone else’s drinking, moods or crises. Sessions can include small, practical experiments to try between meetings and review what worked.

Jackie has experience supporting people with grief, eating and sleeping difficulties, ADHD-related struggles, addictions, and compassion fatigue. She also works with concerns such as attachment and abandonment, body image, communication and control issues. Her approach is direct, practical and aimed at helping people make clearer choices.
