Jackie Kenworthy , NCPS

Jackie Kenworthy is a UK-based therapist with 25 years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, family conflicts, parenting challenges, and career difficulties. She brings longstanding experience to work collaboratively with individuals and couples, and holds the NCPS credential, a professional qualification in counselling and psychotherapy that reflects her training and commitment to professional standards.

Jackie emphasizes a nonjudgmental, open therapeutic atmosphere where thoughts and feelings can be expressed and explored. Her practice includes additional qualifications in couples work and a broad focus on issues such as relationships, grief, addictions, eating and sleeping difficulties, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Clients benefit from her experience helping families navigate blended dynamics, attachment and abandonment concerns, communication and commitment issues, and other complex life transitions.

Recognizing that beginning therapy can require courage, Jackie commends those who take that first step and aims to make the process approachable. She works with each person to identify goals and practical strategies, tailoring her approach to fit individual needs and priorities while fostering resilience and clearer pathways forward.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Jackie draws on client-centered therapy to create an accepting, nonjudgmental space where each person’s experience is heard and understood - this approach is well suited to relationship work, parenting concerns, and emotional processing. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours, which can be especially effective for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Complementing these methods, mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and practical techniques for managing overwhelm, sleep difficulties, and attention-related challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jackie collaborates with clients to determine which methods align best with their goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities. She adapts strategies over time so the work remains relevant and effective for each person.

Online sessions with licensed professionals offer flexibility for busy schedules and varying needs. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow clients to connect in ways that suit their comfort and availability, making ongoing therapeutic support more accessible across different life circumstances.
