About Jessica

NCPS counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years' experience, working with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem concerns, depression and addictions. Jessica Henderson helps people with relationship and intimacy issues, parenting and career worries, and a wide range of life changes. She uses Client-Centred approaches alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Trauma-Focused work.

Jessica meets people as a counsellor while drawing on previous experience as a registered mental health nurse. She frames conversations around practical goals and what a person wants to change. Sessions focus on clear steps, and on noticing thoughts, feelings and behaviours that keep problems going.

Her Client-Centred work gives priority to the person’s perspective and what matters most to them. CBT is used to look at thinking patterns and to try different behaviour experiments between sessions. Trauma-Focused work is aimed at helping people who have experienced abuse or other traumatic events process those memories in ways that reduce distress.

She also supports people dealing with parenting stress, sleep and eating problems, ADHD-related difficulties, and compassion fatigue. Additional areas include commitment and communication problems, control issues, separation and divorce, and obsessive-compulsive concerns.

Talks are straightforward and practical. Jessica helps people set small, achievable steps and reviews progress together. To book, follow the site’s booking route and complete the brief matching questionnaire before arranging a first session.

How her approaches inform remote sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening to the person’s priorities and helping them lead the work. It is useful when someone needs to talk through feelings, build confidence, or clarify what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical experiments between meetings to change patterns that maintain anxiety or low mood. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people who have experienced abuse or other traumatic events work with memories and responses so daily life becomes easier.

Finding the best approach is part of the early work. Jessica treats choosing methods as a shared decision. She will talk with the person about their goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, then agree a plan to try and review it together.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or travel, and can reduce time spent commuting. It also allows shorter check-ins when that suits, or sessions without video for times when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setup is needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use these practical benefits to help people keep therapy part of everyday life.
