About Jessica
Jessica Henderson helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, addictions, and issues around intimacy and relationships. She also supports clients coping with sleep or eating difficulties, anger, career concerns, ADHD, and feelings of loneliness or emptiness. Jessica works in English and practices in the United Kingdom.
She holds NCPS as a credential. Jessica’s manner is warm and respectful. She trained as a mental health nurse and now works as a counsellor, so she brings clinical experience alongside a counselling approach.
Background and approach
Conversations are tailored to each person, with practical steps introduced alongside listening and reflection. Her ways of working include client-centred therapy, which focuses on the person’s own goals and experience, and cognitive behavioural therapy, often used for anxiety and depression. She also uses trauma-focused approaches for people who have experienced abuse or other traumatic events.
Sessions focus on small, manageable goals such as improving sleep, easing anxious thoughts, rebuilding confidence, or coping with life changes like separation and career transitions. Jessica aims to make progress feel realistic and steady rather than overwhelming. With three years' experience in mental health and counselling, she adapts techniques to the individual.
The first meeting is used to understand priorities and agree a way forward together. Jessica highlights practical tools and ongoing support to help people move towards a more fulfilling life.

How Jessica works online
Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It teaches practical skills to challenge unhelpful thinking and build routine changes, which many people find useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.
Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on reducing the impact of past traumatic events. It offers ways to process difficult memories and to develop coping strategies for triggers and flashbacks.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences and will suggest methods to try together. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so appointments sit more easily around work or family commitments.
