Jessica Henderson

Jessica Henderson works with people facing anger alongside a wide range of concerns. She supports those coping with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, and difficulties with self-esteem. Her approach also covers trauma, domestic violence, addictions and relationship issues. Jessica is based in the United Kingdom and communicates in English. Jessica uses a person-centred style that keeps the client's experience central. She shapes conversations around what matters to each person and helps them set practical steps they can try between sessions. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques aimed at spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new ways of coping. Her background includes three years practising in mental health and experience as a registered mental health nurse. That clinical experience informs how she plans care, and she offers counselling that draws on both nursing and talking-therapy perspectives. Jessica trained in Person Centred Counselling and has completed work in CBT for anxiety and depression. She describes therapy as a collaborative process and aims to tailor sessions to each person's needs and pace. People who book with Jessica can expect straightforward conversations about goals, coping strategies they can use day to day, and gradual work on patterns that cause distress. She emphasises respect, sensitivity and compassion throughout the process.

How Jessica’s approaches translate to online talking therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and creating space for people to tell their story in their own words. It helps when someone needs understanding, to build self-worth, and to feel heard during difficult moments.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It teaches simple steps to test unhelpful thoughts and try new coping skills for anxiety, low mood or anger-related habits.

Jessica will work with each person to find the right mix of approaches. Deciding which methods to use is a collaborative process based on the person's goals and what feels most useful in early sessions.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about practical arrangements and how to structure sessions so they fit day-to-day life.
