Yvonne Henry

Yvonne Henry is a BACP counsellor who has spent seven years supporting adults through difficult life moments. She introduces herself in a calm, direct way and invites people to bring whatever feels heavy. Her tone is warm and down-to-earth, aimed at helping clients feel heard from the first conversation.

She helps people facing anxiety, stress and overwhelm, and those struggling with low self-esteem. Relationship and family difficulties are a core part of her work, as are bereavement and loss. She also supports adults with issues around addiction, trauma, intimacy, eating and sleeping, and major life changes.

Yvonne blends person-centred practice with practical methods. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of responding. Mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas also inform longer term work when people want to understand patterns from the past.

Sessions often focus on small, manageable steps. Conversations aim to make things clearer and build everyday tools for coping. Yvonne can also bring Christian faith and prayer into sessions for those who want that element included, or she can keep the work purely therapeutic depending on the client's preference.

She works with adults aged 18 and over and accepts clients in the United Kingdom and internationally. People new to counselling can expect a collaborative, respectful approach that balances listening with practical suggestions.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Yvonne works with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice painful thoughts and focus on actions that reflect their values rather than getting stuck in rumination. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and big life decisions.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to map the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and to try small experiments that change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often chosen for stress, panic, sleep and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those aims. Sessions are collaborative, and plans are adjusted as progress becomes clearer.

The therapist's biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm which formats are currently offered before booking. Many people find online counselling helpful because it can fit into a busy day, cut travel time and make it easier to attend brief check-ins. Online sessions also allow for focused exercises and mindfulness practices that suit a home routine while keeping the work practical and goal-focused.
