About Jackie
Jackie Kenworthy is a counsellor registered with NCPS in the United Kingdom and has 25 years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, family tensions, parenting challenges and career difficulties. Jackie also supports clients facing relationship strain, grief, eating and sleeping problems, addiction and compassion fatigue.
Her approach is direct and person-focused. She listens and helps people name what feels heavy. Sessions look at how thoughts, behaviours and relationships interact. Practical tools are used alongside reflective conversation.
Jackie draws on Client-Centred Therapy to keep sessions grounded in the client's perspective. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills to manage intense emotions. Mindfulness techniques are included to help with stress and sleep.
She has worked with additional issues such as attachment concerns, body image, codependency, ADHD, and the effects of trauma like dissociation. Jackie also supports people coping with major life changes and problems linked to illness or bereavement.
People who come to her can expect straightforward conversation about what is causing difficulty and practical steps to try between sessions. The focus is on clearer thinking, manageable routines, and communication that reduces conflict. Jackie helps clients work through immediate problems while also looking at patterns that keep those problems repeating.
How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy places the client’s perspective at the heart of sessions, with the counsellor reflecting and clarifying what matters most. This approach helps people feel heard and can be useful when sorting through guilt or family conflict.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on spotting and testing unhelpful thoughts and habits. It often involves practical exercises and short tasks to try between sessions, which can reduce anxiety and change patterns that feed shame.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy provides specific skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance. DBT techniques are practical and can be used when feelings feel overwhelming or out of control.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Jackie will discuss goals, preferences and the problems you want to tackle, and then agree on methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as needs shift.
The therapist's biography did not specify exact online formats, so confirm session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. Some formats use video or phone and each has practical benefits such as lower bandwidth needs or not needing to be on camera; check which are offered before your first appointment.
