About Jackie
Jackie Kenworthy is a counsellor with NCPS credentialing and 25 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She focuses on stress, anxiety, family and parenting concerns, and career-related difficulties. Jackie aims to make the first step feel manageable and speaks directly to people who find beginning therapy hard.
She creates a calm, open space where clients can talk about thoughts and feelings without feeling judged. Conversations are paced to what each person needs, and she keeps language clear and practical. Sessions may involve looking at patterns in day-to-day life and trying small changes that can make a difference.
Jackie also works with relationship issues and has further qualifications related to couples. When relationship problems come up, she helps people name what is happening and practise different ways of communicating. She combines listening with structured exercises to help repair and strengthen connections.
Her approach draws on several well-known methods, including client-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural techniques, dialectical behaviour ideas, emotionally focused approaches, and mindfulness practices. These are used to help with anxiety, coping after loss, addictive behaviours, sleep and eating difficulties, and the stress of life changes.
Sessions are offered in English and take place in the United Kingdom. Jackie encourages people to be gentle with themselves during the first steps of therapy and to choose a pace that feels workable for everyday life.
How Jackie's approaches work online and in practice
Client-centred work focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. The therapist provides active listening and reflection so clients feel heard and can find their own solutions. This approach helps when someone needs a supportive space to talk about stress, relationships, or parenting.Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses clear, practical exercises to test unhelpful thinking and try small behaviour changes that reduce anxiety or improve sleep. Dialectical behaviour ideas add skills for managing strong emotions and improving day-to-day coping, which can help with stress, addictions and relationship tensions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jackie will work together with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. That collaboration means plans can be adjusted as things change.

Many people find online sessions useful for fitting therapy around work and family commitments, for shorter check-ins, or for avoiding travel time. Discussing practical needs early helps shape sessions so they suit everyday life without making promises about particular services.
