Yvonne Henry , BACP

Yvonne Henry recognises that people who seek therapy often arrive carrying heavy concerns and wondering whether now is the right time to ask for support. She is an accredited, fully qualified counsellor and holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is the UK professional body for counselling and psychotherapy. She works with adults aged 18 and over to address a wide range of issues, including anxiety, stress and overwhelm, low self-esteem and confidence struggles, relationship and family difficulties, bereavement and loss, and concerns affecting adolescents and young adults.

Her style is warm, person-centred, and collaborative; she helps clients explore overwhelming thoughts and feelings, make sense of their experiences, and develop practical tools to feel calmer, stronger, and more in control. Clients often describe her as empathetic, reflective, and easy to talk to, and she aims to create a respectful therapeutic relationship that supports personal growth and coping.

Where it is important to the client, she can integrate Christian faith and prayer into sessions so that spiritual beliefs are included alongside therapeutic work. For others, a solely therapeutic focus is preferred. The choice about how faith is incorporated always rests with the client, and her aim is to provide a supportive space where people feel heard, understood, and empowered whether working with faith, therapy, or both.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and then commit to values-driven action. It can be useful for anxiety, avoidance patterns, and coping with major life changes. Client-Centered Therapy centres the person by offering empathy, unconditional positive regard, and acceptance so that clients can explore their feelings and build self-understanding - this approach often supports improvements in self-esteem and relationship issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating difficulties, and many everyday coping challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Yvonne Henry works collaboratively with each client to consider which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques from different approaches to fit the person in front of her. Licensed professionals and therapists often combine elements from several models to create a tailored plan.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, or geographic constraints. These options support continuity of care for local and international clients and allow people to access therapeutic support in ways that suit their daily life.
