Jessica Henderson

Jessica Henderson is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief and depression. She also supports those dealing with trauma, domestic violence and challenges with self-esteem and motivation. Jess speaks plainly and aims to make the first step feel possible for people who are worried or overwhelmed.

She worked as a registered mental health nurse before moving into counselling. That background means she has practical experience with mental health settings and can draw on that when planning care. Her listed credential is NCPS which is given here as supplied.

Her approach is person-centred, which means listening first and tailoring the conversation to each person. She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, commonly called CBT, to help with anxiety and depression. Trauma-focused ideas inform her work where trauma or domestic violence are involved.

Sessions focus on clear goals and small, manageable steps. People can expect a calm, respectful space to talk through difficult topics and to try out different ways of coping. Jess works with practical tools alongside reflective conversation.

She encourages people to take their time and to shape therapy around their priorities. The aim is to build confidence, reduce distressing symptoms and make everyday life more manageable. To begin, a short questionnaire and scheduling step links a person to the right sessions.

Approaches used online and how they help

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what you say. It helps people feel heard and to set goals that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and gives practical exercises to reduce anxiety and low mood. Trauma-Focused Therapy targets the impact of traumatic events and supports gradual coping and recovery.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with you about your needs, goals and preferences and then decide together which methods to use. That collaborative conversation helps match techniques to what feels useful and manageable for you.

Confirm the available session options with the service before booking as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare and travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or reduce the need to travel to appointments. Many people find the convenience helps them maintain momentum between sessions while they try new ways of coping.
