Yvonne Henry, BACP

Yvonne Henry is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has seven years of experience helping adults manage difficult feelings and life changes. She offers a calm, practical presence for people who are struggling and unsure where to begin.

Her work focuses on common but painful issues such as stress and anxiety, depression, grief and bereavement, and problems with relationships and family life. She also supports people facing addictions, trauma and abuse, and changes linked to career or health. Additional areas of focus include attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and parenting challenges.

Sessions are collaborative. Yvonne listens first to understand what matters most, then helps people try straightforward strategies that fit their day-to-day life. She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques, mindfulness, and psychodynamic ideas to tailor the sessions to each person.

Some people choose to include their Christian faith and prayer in sessions; others prefer a purely therapeutic focus. Yvonne adapts to each person’s preferences and aims to create a respectful space for whatever route a person finds most helpful.

She works with adults and accepts clients in English across the United Kingdom and internationally. Practical matters like session format and scheduling are arranged at the start so people can focus on steady progress.

Approaches that suit online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on building a supportive relationship where the person feels heard and accepted, allowing them to explore difficult feelings at their own pace.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different methods and together with the client decide what fits their goals and preferences. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust techniques as needs change over time.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video allows more face-to-face connection, phone can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat suits shorter check-ins or people who prefer typed communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, travel, and different time zones.
