About Jessica
Counsellor Jessica Henderson is a NCPS member with three years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression, and she also supports people affected by trauma and domestic violence. Sessions are conducted in English.
Jessica frames sessions around listening and practical steps. She uses client-centred counselling to focus on the person's perspective and CBT for anxiety and depression. That means time is given to understand what matters to the client, then try small, manageable changes in thinking and behaviour.
Her background includes experience in mental health nursing, which she brings into her counselling role. That experience informs how she discusses symptoms and coping strategies, while the core work remains counselling conversations and structured approaches like CBT and trauma-focused techniques.
She helps with a wide range of issues beyond mood and trauma. These include relationship and intimacy-related concerns, parenting pressures, anger and addiction, work stress and career decisions, and challenges such as OCD symptoms, ADHD and sleep problems.
Jessica describes her work as practical and person-focused. Early sessions tend to clarify what the client wants to change and agree simple steps. Later sessions look at patterns, reactions and ways to manage difficult feelings more effectively.
To begin, clients complete an online questionnaire and choose a first session via the site. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How Jessica uses approaches in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the client's own perspective. The counsellor listens closely and reflects what the client says, helping them find their own solutions and clarity. This approach suits people who want a conversational, person-led way of working.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It uses practical exercises and small behaviour changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. CBT is often used for specific problems such as panic, phobias or unhelpful worry patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jessica will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That choice can change as therapy moves on and as different issues come up.

Online counselling can make sessions easier to fit into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people access therapy from different parts of the country without changing counsellors.
