Yvonne Henry

Yvonne Henry is a counsellor with seven years of experience offering one-to-one support for adults. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She often works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship and family difficulties, grief and loss, and anger concerns.

Yvonne takes a warm, person-centred approach in sessions. She helps people talk through what feels overwhelming and makes sense of painful experiences. Sessions focus on building practical ways to feel calmer and more in control. She can include Christian faith and prayer when a client wishes, or keep the work purely therapeutic depending on individual preference.

Her practice draws on a mix of well-established approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and helps people try new ways of responding. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy brings attention to values and learning to live alongside difficult feelings. Mindfulness practices are used to help with focus and stress regulation.

Yvonne also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at deeper patterns that repeat over time, and client-centred listening to make sure each person’s experience is heard. She works with issues such as addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related problems, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strains, bipolar mood concerns, and coping with life changes.

People who come to her often want a calm, reflective space to explore their feelings and try practical tools. Sessions are aimed at helping adults develop clearer coping strategies and more confidence in day-to-day life.

How her approaches work online and in sessions

Yvonne uses a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people respond differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and suggests practical experiments to try in daily life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on what matters to the person and on making choices that match those values even when feelings are uncomfortable.

She also draws on client-centred listening to make sure the person feels heard, and on mindfulness techniques to improve focus and reduce stress. The emphasis is on simple, usable tools and on exploring what works for each person rather than applying one fixed method.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Yvonne will discuss options with each person and choose methods based on their goals, needs, and preferences. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as therapy progresses.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also means people can continue work with a registered professional from different locations, including international arrangements when appropriate.
