About Jessica
Jessica Henderson helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports people dealing with trauma, domestic violence, motivation difficulties and challenges around parenting. Her tone is warm and straightforward, focused on practical steps and steady listening.
Jessica uses a person-centred way of working that keeps the client at the heart of sessions. She combines that with cognitive behavioural tools to tackle anxious thoughts and low mood.
Background and approach
Her clinical background in mental health nursing informs how she structures care and responds to complex situations. Sessions are shaped to each person. Jessica invites clients to set goals and tests small changes between meetings.
Conversations are plain and directed at what will feel useful day to day, such as better sleep, clearer boundaries or coping with loss. She lists three years of professional experience and holds NCPS as a credential. Jessica trained in person-centred counselling and uses CBT techniques for anxiety and depression alongside trauma-focused work when needed.
People contact Jessica for a mix of immediate coping strategies and longer-term changes. She works through practical steps, planning, and reflective conversation to help clients build steadier routines and more confident decision making. The approach is collaborative and paced to what feels manageable.

Approaches Jessica lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Jessica works in a person-centred way that focuses on the individual's goals and priorities. This approach means the conversation is guided by what matters most to the client, and the therapist follows the client's pace while offering empathic feedback and practical suggestions.She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, commonly called CBT, to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test small behavioural changes. CBT is useful for worries, low mood and stress because it gives concrete tools to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with the client and agree a plan that suits their needs, goals and preferences. That collaboration helps decide whether person-centred conversation, CBT techniques or trauma-focused steps are most helpful at any stage.
Online therapy offers flexibility and a range of formats. Video calls let people keep face-to-face contact when that feels important. Phone sessions or live chat can be easier on low-bandwidth connections or when someone needs a shorter check-in. Text-based messaging suits quick reflections, journalling between sessions or people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy lives and different routines.
