About Jackie

Jackie Kenworthy is a counsellor with NCPS credentials and 25 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and straightforward. Jackie encourages open conversation and listens without judgement so people can say what matters to them.

Jackie helps people who are dealing with stress and anxiety, work and career pressures, and family or parenting tensions. She also supports people facing grief, relationship strain, addiction concerns and codependency. Sessions focus on practical ways to cope and on making small changes that fit into everyday life.

Her approach is collaborative and down to earth. Jackie uses client-centred listening to understand each person's priorities, then adds tools from cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness when helpful. She aims to make therapy feel like a steady, practical conversation rather than a lecture.

Jackie has worked with relationship difficulties and has further qualifications related to couples work, which she integrates when appropriate. She can also offer help for issues such as body image, sleep and eating problems, ADHD and compassion fatigue.

People who choose Jackie usually want clear, straightforward support that connects feelings to everyday choices. To begin they fill in a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability. The subscription for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Client-centred therapy places the person's own experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens closely and follows what matters most to the client, helping them make sense of feelings and set small goals. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers practical steps to change unhelpful patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and will help decide whether client-centred listening, CBT or a blend is the best fit. This is a collaborative process that can change as needs evolve.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which online options are available before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people attend from quieter surroundings or choose sessions that suit their daily routine. Registered or accredited professionals will work with you to match approach and scheduling to practical needs.
