About Jessica
Jessica Henderson is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. She supports those coping with grief, trauma and domestic violence, and assists with motivation, confidence and recovery from addiction. She uses a warm, respectful approach and aims to make the first step feel manageable.
She trained as a Person Centred counsellor and holds NCPS. Jessica also uses cognitive behavioural techniques for anxiety and depression. In sessions she listens first, then helps clients set small, practical steps they can try between meetings.
Her background includes work as a registered mental health nurse, and she sees that experience as useful when talking about mental health and treatment history. That clinical perspective is brought into conversations without taking over the client’s goals. Sessions are tailored to each person’s situation and pace.
Jessica focuses on clear, down-to-earth conversations rather than jargon. She helps people sort through relationship and communication problems, parenting strain, anger and control issues, and questions about life direction and purpose. She also works with issues such as obsessive behaviours, social anxiety and midlife transition.
People who want a collaborative style can expect an empathic listener who suggests practical tools. The plan in therapy is built together, with attention to the things that matter most to the client.
How these approaches work for online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding your experience and responding with empathy and respect. In practice this means the counsellor listens closely, reflects what they hear, and helps you find your own solutions. It is useful for stress, low self-esteem and life direction concerns.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. The counsellor may help you spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavioural experiments to reduce anxiety or low mood. This approach often suits people wanting clear techniques to use between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss your goals, preferences and what feels comfortable, then suggest ways to combine person centred listening with CBT techniques or trauma-focused steps when needed. Decisions about methods and pace are made collaboratively.
If you are considering online sessions, check which formats are offered before booking as session options are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let you choose quieter times or opt out of being on camera depending on what helps you engage.
