Jessica Henderson

Jessica Henderson is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She also helps those coping with trauma, domestic violence, motivation struggles and confidence issues. Jessica uses a respectful and compassionate approach in sessions to help people take steps toward a more fulfilling life.

She trained in Person Centred Counselling and lists NCPS as a credential, which she uses alongside her background as a registered mental health nurse. That nursing experience informs the way she listens and responds, and she adapts conversations to suit each person’s needs.

Jessica works with practical tools as well as open conversation. She uses approaches from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to address anxious thinking and depressive patterns. She also brings Trauma-Focused methods into work with people who have difficult or distressing past experiences.

Sessions focus on clear goals the person sets. Jessica helps people notice unhelpful patterns and try small changes between meetings. She aims for straightforward, down-to-earth dialogue rather than jargon, and she checks in about progress as therapy continues.

People often seek her support for relationship and intimacy concerns, ADHD and eating or sleeping issues, as well as for career stress and life transitions. She works with LGBT concerns and offers coaching-style support where appropriate. To begin, readers are encouraged to use the site’s Start Therapy process to match and schedule a first session.

How these approaches shape online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and supports people to find their own solutions. This approach is helpful for building confidence and exploring self-esteem or life-purpose concerns.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at connections between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It involves simple exercises and experiments to test unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of coping with anxiety, low mood or sleep problems.

Trauma-Focused Therapy pays attention to the effects of distressing experiences and uses careful, paced methods to reduce their hold over daily life. It can help people manage triggers, memories and patterns that follow trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and help decide which methods to try first. That choice is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work, study or family life and avoiding travel time. It can make check-ins easier during busy weeks and allow access from different parts of the UK. Because the biography does not list session formats, confirm the available ways to meet before booking to ensure they fit your routine.
