Yvonne Henry, BACP

Yvonne Henry is a counsellor with seven years of experience supporting adults through difficult life moments. She is a BACP member, and she frames her work around practical conversation and steady support. People come to her when worries feel heavy or routine coping no longer helps.

Yvonne uses a warm, person-centred style that aims to make talking easier. Sessions focus on understanding what is happening now and finding small changes that make everyday life feel more manageable. She can include Christian faith and prayer in sessions when a client wishes, or keep the work strictly therapeutic depending on preference.

Her practice covers a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family difficulties, addiction, trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem and career questions. She also works with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image, chronic illness and caregiving stress. The emphasis is on helping people cope with life changes and regain steady ground.

In sessions she blends conversational listening with tools from approaches like cognitive behavioural work, mindfulness and acceptance-based ideas. She helps clients notice patterns in thinking and behaviour, then tries out practical steps to reduce distress. The pace is collaborative and guided by each person’s needs.

Yvonne practises in the United Kingdom and offers therapy in English. She aims to create a respectful and non-judgemental space where clients can be heard and take forward what matters to them.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting trapped by them. It encourages choosing actions that reflect personal values, which can be useful for coping with midlife change, loss or career decisions.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on empathic listening and helping people find their own solutions. It aims to build a trusting relationship so a person can explore what matters and start making steady changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and develop alternative habits for mood, sleep, eating and anxiety management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through goals and preferences and together decide which ideas to try first. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as therapy progresses.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing appointments during a lunch break. Different ways of meeting suit different needs, so check the current session options before booking to confirm how sessions are arranged. The focus is on making therapy practical and workable alongside daily responsibilities.
