About Jackie
Jackie Kenworthy is a counsellor with 25 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She uses a warm, client-focused style to help people talk through stress, anxiety, relationship worries and career pressures. Jackie aims to build a straightforward, non-judgemental space where people can say what matters to them and begin to feel more steady.
She often helps parents and people facing family conflict to find clearer communication and practical steps forward.
Background and approach
Jackie also supports those coping with grief, addictions, eating and sleeping difficulties, and the strain of caring roles through compassion fatigue. She works with clients on issues linked to identity and relationships, including LGBT concerns and commitment or communication problems. Jackie draws on several therapy approaches to suit different needs.
She uses client-centred methods to follow what each person brings. Cognitive behavioural tools help with unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. Dialectical behaviour approaches offer skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.
Her background includes additional focus in areas such as attachment concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, dissociation, and issues around abandonment and control. Jackie also has experience with blended family difficulties, body image and cancer-related challenges. Her listed credential is NCPS, which is shown as provided.

How Jackie works online
Finding the right approach is often a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the person’s needs, then adjust as required to make sessions more effective and manageable.
Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and reduce travel time. It can allow shorter check-ins around work breaks, fewer interruptions to routine and a way to use skills practice in everyday settings. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt tools like CBT worksheets and DBT skills for remote sessions, helping people apply practical techniques between meetings.
