About Jackie
Jackie Kenworthy is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has 25 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, family conflict, parenting problems and career difficulties. Jackie also supports clients with relationship concerns and a range of other issues listed in her practice.
Jackie focuses on listening and helping people talk through what feels hard. She uses straightforward conversation to identify pressures and to find practical steps that make daily life easier. Sessions look at immediate coping strategies and longer term patterns that keep problems repeating.
Her approach draws on well known methods such as client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques and skills from dialectical behaviour therapy. Jackie may use mindfulness and emotionally-focused ideas where they help people understand feelings or manage intense moments.
People come to her with a wide range of concerns beyond anxiety and stress. These include parenting strain, grief, addiction, ADHD, body image and eating or sleeping problems. She also works with issues like attachment, communication problems and coping with major life changes.
Jackie’s style is direct and practical. She helps people set simple goals, try new ways of handling situations and review what works. To begin, clients complete an initial matching step and schedule a first session to talk about goals and next steps.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Client-centred work focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It helps people feel understood and clarifies what they want to change. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviour, offering practical techniques to reduce anxiety and manage stress. Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) contributes skills for managing strong emotions and improving day-to-day coping.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. That choice is decided together and can be reviewed as sessions progress to make sure the approach fits the person's needs.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please check the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around study, work or travel. They also let people choose quieter timings, use video or audio based on comfort, or schedule shorter check-ins when a brief conversation is helpful. Registered or accredited professionals aim to help clients build practical skills that fit into everyday life, wherever they join from.
