About Jessica
Jessica Henderson is a counsellor registered with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and has three years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and loss, low self-esteem, depression, trauma and domestic violence, and anger. Sessions are conducted in English.
She brings prior experience as a mental health nurse into her counselling role, which informs how she talks with people about symptoms and practical day-to-day coping. Conversations are direct and grounded. She focuses on clear steps people can try between sessions.
Jessica uses Client-Centred Therapy to listen and help people reflect on what matters to them. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques for anxiety and depression, and Trauma-Focused Therapy when trauma is part of the problem. These approaches are used to help people change unhelpful thinking, manage strong feelings, and reduce distressing patterns.
In sessions she aims to set out an agreed plan and practical goals. That might include short exercises, looking at patterns that keep anger growing, or strategies for managing stress at work. She encourages people to notice small changes and build on them.
Getting started usually means completing a short matching questionnaire and booking an initial appointment. Jessica does not accept international clients.
How sessions work
How Jessica’s approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy places focus on listening and reflecting back what the client is experiencing. It helps people clarify their own thoughts and values and can be useful when anger connects to relationship or identity worries.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical exercises and short tasks to test and shift unhelpful thinking, which is often useful for anxiety, depression and reactive anger.
Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and addressing past events that continue to shape reactions now. When trauma is involved, the approach works to reduce intense responses and build safer ways of coping.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss the options, listen to the client’s goals and preferences, and agree on a plan together. That plan can be adjusted as work progresses.
The original profile does not specify which online session formats are offered. Please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work or family commitments, avoid travel time, and try shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can use these benefits to help sessions fit everyday life.
