   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 about stress, anxiety, family tension and parenting challenges. Jackie aims to create an open space where clients can share thoughts and feelings without judgement.

   Jackie blends practical, evidence-informed ways of working with a collaborative attitude. She uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change. She also draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to tackle unhelpful thoughts and build new habits.

   Her background includes supporting people with relationship issues and career difficulties. She also works with concerns such as grief, addictions, eating and sleeping problems, compassion fatigue and ADHD. Jackie pays attention to how attachment, abandonment and communication problems affect everyday life.

   Clients may also bring complex presentations such as dissociation, personality-related patterns, autism or codependency. She aims to break these issues down into manageable steps and practical actions. Sessions are described in everyday language and focus on what will help that person now.

   Jackie holds NCPS as a listed credential and practices in the United Kingdom. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are not currently accepted. For people feeling unsure about starting, she encourages taking a small first step and offers clear guidance on how to book.

2. How Jackie’s approaches translate to online work

   Jackie commonly uses Motivational Interviewing and Client-Centred Therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Motivational Interviewing means helping people uncover their own reasons to change and gently building commitment over time; it can be useful for addictions, lifestyle shifts and motivation challenges. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping clients find their own answers; this approach helps when someone needs emotional space to think things through. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses straightforward techniques to reduce unhelpful patterns and improve day-to-day coping.
   
   Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and what feels most comfortable. That collaborative conversation helps decide which methods to try and how to adapt them to each person’s situation.
   
   The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins or offering easier scheduling around work and family commitments. Discussing practicalities at the start helps shape sessions that match daily routines and what each person needs.
