Yvonne Henry, BACP

Yvonne Henry is a counsellor with seven years of experience supporting adults through difficult times. She works with common problems such as anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, relationship and family difficulties, bereavement and loss, and concerns of young adults. Yvonne is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, which she notes on her profile.

Her style is warm and person-centred. Sessions focus on exploring the thoughts and feelings that feel overwhelming. She helps people make sense of their experiences and develop practical coping tools to feel calmer and more in control.

Yvonne blends talking therapies with gentle reflection. She draws on approaches such as acceptance and commitment work, cognitive behavioural ideas, mindfulness and psychodynamic thinking to match what a person needs. The aim is to build small, manageable steps rather than quick fixes.

Faith can be part of the work when clients wish to include it. Yvonne offers the option of integrating Christian belief and prayer into sessions, or keeping the focus purely therapeutic depending on the person’s preference.

The counselling room is described as a space to be heard and understood. People meet to talk things through, try new ways of coping, and plan practical changes. Yvonne supports adults wanting clearer thinking, steadier emotion, and better day-to-day functioning.

Therapeutic approaches and online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being led by them. It focuses on values and small actions that move someone towards a life they care about, which can help with anxiety, depression and coping with change.

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows the client’s pace to help them feel understood and find their own solutions. This approach suits people who need space to make sense of their feelings.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It includes practical exercises and experiments to test unhelpful beliefs and build more useful habits, often useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That choice is reviewed as therapy progresses so the plan can change if something else would help more.

If you are considering online sessions, check the current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the original profile. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also make some tasks, such as mindfulness exercises and homework, easier to do between sessions.
