About Jessica

Jessica Henderson works with stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem and depression, and she also supports people who have experienced trauma and domestic violence. She describes herself as a counsellor who draws on prior experience as a registered mental health nurse. Jessica is a member of NCPS and has three years of experience.

She uses Client-Centred Therapy to focus on the person in front of her and to make sessions conversational and respectful. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, especially for anxiety and low mood, and applies Trauma-Focused Therapy where trauma is part of the picture. Sessions typically involve talking through patterns, identifying practical steps, and trying different ways of coping.

In practice she adapts the pace to the person. Some people start with practical strategies for managing anxiety and sleep. Others work more on understanding past events and their emotional effects. Jessica aims to keep sessions straightforward and serviceable rather than academic.

Her background as a registered mental health nurse informs how she notices risk and practical needs, though she sees people in the role of counsellor. She trained in Person-Centred Counselling and has additional training in CBT for anxiety and depression.

Sessions are conducted in English and are provided from the United Kingdom. The subscription model used for sessions can be cancelled at any time; costs vary with location. Before booking, users should confirm the current session formats offered.

How her approaches work in online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to the person’s concerns in a respectful, non-directive way. In practice this means the counsellor encourages open talk, reflects what she hears, and supports the client to find their own solutions; it can help with issues like low self-esteem and relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and patterns and try different behaviours. Online CBT sessions often involve setting small tasks between meetings and using structured conversation to reduce anxiety and improve sleep or mood.

Trauma-Focused Therapy aims to address the effects of traumatic experiences by working carefully through memories and reactions at a pace the person can manage. This approach is used when trauma or domestic violence is part of the presenting issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the first sessions. The counsellor will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit the person’s needs, goals and preferences, and may combine elements from different approaches as appropriate.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, avoid travel, or have a shorter check-in when time is limited. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use these practical benefits to help people access consistent care.
