About Jessica
Jessica Henderson is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem. She works with depression, addictions and trauma, and also supports clients facing relationship and intimacy concerns. She lists LGBT among her focus areas and welcomes conversations that relate to identity and belonging.
Jessica practises in the United Kingdom and brings three years of clinical experience to her counselling work. She is NCPS credentialed. Her background includes time as a registered mental health nurse, and she uses that experience to inform practical, everyday care rather than technical jargon.
Background and approach
In sessions she keeps the approach straightforward and person centred. That means conversations follow the client’s priorities and move at a pace that feels right. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques when helpful, for example to manage anxiety or change unhelpful thinking patterns.
Jessica works with people affected by trauma and domestic violence, and she draws on trauma-focused methods when a careful, step-by-step approach is needed. She aims to tailor discussion and any plan to each person’s needs, goals and comfort level. Her style is warm and direct.

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.
How these approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s priorities. The counsellor offers empathy and reflects what is said, helping people find their own solutions to stress, relationship worries and self-esteem concerns.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and short activities to reduce anxiety, manage low mood and change unhelpful habits.
Trauma-Focused Therapy involves gentle, structured work to reduce the impact of past harm. It moves at a careful pace and aims to build safety and coping skills before tackling difficult memories.
Finding the right way to work is a shared process. The counsellor will discuss goals, tries out different techniques, and adapts the plan based on how clients respond. That collaborative approach helps match methods to each person’s needs and preferences.
If you want online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking. Many people find remote work helps fit counselling into a busy day, for example by avoiding travel, making it easier to fit a session into a lunch break, or allowing shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can also adapt practical worksheets and exercises for online use so you can practise between sessions.
