Jackie Kenworthy

Jackie Kenworthy is a counsellor with 25 years of professional work experience in the United Kingdom and the NCPS credential. She focuses on creating a calm, open space where people can talk through difficult feelings and decisions. Jackie aims to help people who are facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain or major life changes take clearer steps forward.

She draws on several practical approaches to tailor sessions to each person. These include client-centred work that follows the person's lead, cognitive behavioural techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking, and mindfulness practices to reduce tension. Sessions are conversational and grounded in everyday language rather than clinical jargon.

Jackie has a background supporting people with family and parenting concerns, and she also helps those coping with grief, career stress, addictions and challenges such as attention difficulties. She mentions experience with relationship issues and work with couples as part of her practice.

The counsellor also addresses concerns like body image, communication problems, codependency and blended family issues. When needed she will use strategies from dialectical behaviour therapy and emotionally focused approaches to improve emotional regulation and connection.

Jackie encourages small, manageable steps and collaborative goal-setting. She understands that starting therapy feels daunting and offers a steady, non-judgemental presence while people work through change and difficult transitions.

Working with therapeutic approaches online

Client-centred therapy follows the person's lead and focuses on listening, empathy and building trust; it helps when someone needs space to make sense of feelings and decide on next steps. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking that make problems worse and teaches practical skills to change those thoughts and behaviours; it is often used for anxiety, stress and mood concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and together with the client decide which methods to try. This collaborative process means approaches can be adjusted as needs change and new challenges arise.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time. Some formats use less bandwidth or allow shorter check-ins when days are tight, so therapy can slot into work breaks or between commitments. The profile does not specify which session formats are used, so confirm current session options before booking to make sure they match your needs.
