About Jessica

Jessica Henderson is a counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She also helps with addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, sleep and eating problems, and career or life changes. She uses straightforward, respectful language and aims to make conversations feel manageable.

Jessica works in a calm, person-focused way. She listens first, then helps set small, practical steps. Sessions are shaped around what each person needs rather than a fixed plan.

Background and approach

She emphasises compassion and steadiness when talking about painful or upsetting experiences. Her background includes three years of experience in mental health and a registration as NCPS. She practised as a mental health nurse before moving into counselling, and that clinical experience informs her work without changing the counselling relationship.

Jessica uses client-centred counselling alongside cognitive behavioural tools to look at patterns of thinking and behaviour. She also uses trauma-focused approaches when people need to process distressing events. These methods are chosen to fit the person and the issue rather than applied automatically.

In sessions people can expect clear explanations and practical techniques to try between meetings. Jessica helps people set realistic goals and reviews progress together. Her manner is warm and non-judgemental, aimed at helping people feel more able to cope and make changes they want.

If someone prefers online contact, she offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. The focus is on workable steps and steady support as people navigate stress, loss, trauma or life transitions.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Approaches that shape online therapy

Jessica uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people process distressing events and reduce the ongoing impact of those memories. This approach focuses on understanding the effects of trauma and finding ways to lessen intrusive reactions and distress.

She also works in a Client-Centred way, which means she listens carefully and follows the person's lead. This helps people feel heard and choose goals that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot unhelpful thinking and try practical exercises that change patterns of thought and behaviour, which can help with anxiety and low mood.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss options, try methods together and adjust based on what helps most. The plan is flexible and based on the person's needs, goals and preferences rather than a fixed protocol.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from different locations, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging can suit ongoing reflection between meetings. These formats offer practical flexibility while keeping the focus on steady therapeutic work.
