Jessica Henderson, NCPS

Jessica Henderson is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports people facing trauma, domestic violence, motivation struggles and confidence issues. Jessica uses a respectful and compassionate style to make it easier to talk about painful experiences such as jealousy, loss and relationship strain.

She trained in Person Centred Counselling and uses that client-centred approach to keep sessions focused on each person’s priorities. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, especially for anxiety and low mood, and draws on trauma-focused methods when past events are affecting daily life. Sessions are adapted to what each person needs rather than a fixed formula.

Jessica has worked in mental health for three years and holds the NCPS credential. Her background as a registered mental health nurse informs how she plans treatment while meeting people as a counsellor. She says listening, practical strategies and clear goals form the core of her work.

People can expect an open, down-to-earth conversation that aims to build small, manageable steps forward. Jessica tailors the pace to each person and checks in about what is or isn’t helpful. She encourages realistic goals and practical tools for coping with everyday pressures and relationship concerns.

How her approaches work in online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and on the person's own priorities. The counsellor follows the client’s lead, reflects concerns and helps people uncover what matters most to them. This approach suits people who want more space to talk and make sense of difficult feelings.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and simple strategies to reduce anxiety and lift low mood, and it can help with obsessions, compulsions and sleep problems.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on supporting people affected by harmful or frightening experiences. It helps reduce the ways past events interfere with day-to-day life and supports safer ways of coping.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, needs and preferences and agree a plan together. This collaborative decision-making helps tailor sessions so they feel useful and manageable.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, such as fitting a session into a lunch break or avoiding travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a quick follow-up is needed. Discuss practical arrangements and any adaptations you need when you schedule your first meeting.
