Jackie Kenworthy, NCPS

Jackie Kenworthy is a counsellor with 25 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She aims to make the first steps into therapy straightforward and approachable for people feeling overwhelmed or stuck.

Jackie focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety and supports those facing family conflict or parenting strain. She also works with issues around career changes, addictions, grief, eating and sleeping difficulties, and compassion fatigue. LGBT concerns, relationship problems and ADHD are listed among her core areas of interest.

Her approach is based on creating an open, non-judgemental space where clients can share thoughts and feelings honestly. Jackie uses methods that centre the person, alongside practical strategies from cognitive and emotion-focused approaches. Mindfulness and skills from dialectical behaviour work can be used to help with difficult emotions and day-to-day coping.

Jackie holds the NCPS credential, which is shown as NCPS. She has also worked with relationship concerns and has additional focus areas such as attachment issues, body image, and bereavement. Her style is practical and collaborative, aiming to help people find clearer ways forward.

If you are ready to begin, Jackie invites you to take the next step. The process starts with a short questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits your routine.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of every session. It focuses on listening, understanding and reflecting what matters to the client so they can find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviours interact and uses practical exercises to change patterns that maintain anxiety or low mood. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving how people relate to others.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to test methods, adapt techniques, and choose what fits best for the client's goals and life. That collaboration helps tailor sessions so they feel practical and relevant.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, allow shorter check-ins during a work break, or avoid travel time. It also lets people use approaches like CBT worksheets, mindfulness exercises and skills practise from DBT in ways that suit their everyday schedule.
