Jenny Cleary, NCPS

Jenny Cleary is an NCPS counsellor in the United Kingdom with nine years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, addictions and codependency concerns. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.

Her practice blends Person-Centred ideas with practical therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. She uses Attachment-Based and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy tools when they fit the issue. Conversations focus on values, what matters, and small changes that make daily life easier.

Jenny describes her style as gentle and direct. She pays attention to each person’s pace and aims to be straightforward without pushing. Early work often looks at patterns learned in relationships and how those patterns show up now - for instance people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or getting lost in caring for others.

She encourages noticing how the body and mind interact, and uses creative elements from her background in nature and art. That can mean grounding exercises, practical coping skills, or talking through difficult memories in a focused way. Sessions prioritise clear steps rather than vague talk.

Jenny often helps people name their values and test small behaviours that align with those values. That might include setting limits, changing daily routines, or practising different ways of communicating. The pace is collaborative and adjustable to what feels manageable.

For people who feel stuck by old beliefs or patterns, she aims to help them reconnect with what brings joy and to make steady, practical shifts towards living according to their values.
