About Jackie

Jackie Kenworthy is a counsellor with 25 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She holds NCPS, which is shown here as a credential. Jackie focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety and the ripple effects these bring to family life and work.

She aims to make sessions calm and straightforward. Jackie creates a space where clients can speak without fear of judgement. She listens closely and helps people name what they are feeling so they can decide what to try next.

Jackie uses a blend of approaches such as client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques and emotion-focused ideas. She adapts tools to the situation, offering practical steps for panic, sleep and eating concerns as well as ways to manage day to day overwhelm.

Her background includes work with relationship difficulties, parenting strain and career stress. Jackie also brings experience supporting people facing grief, addiction and compassion fatigue. She draws on mindfulness and dialectical strategies to help with strong emotions and impulsive reactions.

Jackie describes starting therapy as a brave move and helps people take the next small step. To begin, she asks straightforward questions to match on goals and to plan a manageable way forward.

How Jackie’s approaches work in online sessions

Client-centred work focuses on listening and reflecting. The therapist follows the person's lead, helping them feel heard and helping to clarify what matters most. This approach is useful when someone needs a steady, understanding presence while they sort out feelings and choices.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and teaches practical skills to change them. It often helps with anxiety, panic and sleep problems by introducing simple experiments and new ways of reacting to distressing thoughts.

Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving day to day coping. It offers clear, teachable strategies for distress tolerance and emotional regulation that people can use between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and practical needs to decide which methods to use. That means working together to try things that feel manageable and to adjust based on how they work in real life.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and fewer journeys to attend appointments. If you are considering online work, confirm the current session options before booking so you know how appointments will be conducted. Online sessions can make brief check-ins, skill practice and regular support easier to maintain alongside everyday commitments.
