Jessica Henderson, NCPS

Jessica Henderson helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, or problems with self-esteem. She supports those facing addiction, sleep or eating difficulties, and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. Jessica also offers help for career stress, parenting strain, ADHD-related challenges, and issues around control, jealousy, or communication. She is known for a calm, respectful manner that aims to make hard conversations easier to begin.

Jessica uses a straightforward, person-centred way of working. That means sessions focus on the client's experience and what matters most to them. She also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to help change unhelpful thinking and Trauma-Focused Therapy when the effects of past harm need direct attention. These methods are adapted to each person's pace and goals.

Jessica trained as a mental health nurse and holds the NCPS credential. She brings three years of professional experience into counselling sessions and aims to combine practical tools with empathic listening. She tailors conversations and plans so they fit each person's specific needs.

Sessions can be short-term coaching-style work or longer therapeutic work depending on what a person wants. Jessica speaks English and works with people in the United Kingdom. Her style is direct but warm, and she encourages small, manageable steps toward change.

Taking the first step can feel daunting. Jessica strives to make the process clear and steady, helping people set goals, practise new skills, and review progress as they move forward.

How Jessica’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience first. The therapist listens without judgement and helps people explore their feelings and choices at their own pace. This approach is useful for building self-understanding, self-esteem, and finding direction during life changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviours. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems and some stress-related concerns.

Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the impact of past harm by gently approaching distressing memories and their effects. It aims to reduce intrusive reactions and teach coping skills for triggers and overwhelming emotions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jessica will talk with each person about goals, preferences and the issues they bring. Together they decide whether person-centred listening, CBT techniques, trauma-focused work, or a mix best suits the situation.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is good when face-to-face style connection matters. Phone can be quicker on low bandwidth and easier when someone wants not to be on camera. Live chat and text are useful for short check-ins, written reflection or fitting sessions into a busy day. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and everyday life.
