Jessica Henderson
Compassionate counsellor for everyday struggles
About Jessica
Jessica Henderson supports people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, or low self-esteem. She also helps those struggling with addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, compulsive behaviours, parenting strain, and career or life changes. Jessica is listed with NCPS and brings three years of clinical experience to her counselling work.
She uses straightforward, practical conversations to help people break down problems into manageable steps. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and on small, achievable goals.
Background and approach
Jessica adapts her style to each person, offering warmth and clear guidance rather than jargon or long theory lectures. Her approach draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, along with Trauma-Focused Therapy when past harm is affecting day-to-day life. That means she listens first, helps people identify patterns of thinking and behaviour, and works through difficult memories in a paced way.
Techniques are explained plainly and practised together in sessions. Jessica is comfortable supporting concerns that often come with shame, guilt or isolation. She aims to create a calm space where people can test different ways of coping, try new skills, and notice what helps.
Her background in mental health nursing informs a practical, safety-aware outlook while she works as a counsellor. Sessions are offered in English and are delivered online through video, phone, live chat or messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step connects the person with Jessica according to availability.

How Jessica's Approaches Work Online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person and their experience. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said, and helps people find their own solutions. This approach helps when someone needs acceptance and space to work out feelings at their own pace.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It teaches practical exercises to challenge unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems and many everyday worries.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jessica will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative planning means approaches can be adapted over time if something isn't helping.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video sessions let people see visual cues and practise skills in real time. Phone work can suit someone with limited bandwidth or who prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging are helpful for short check-ins, written reflections, or when someone wants to work in smaller steps. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments while keeping the focus on progress and usable tools.
