Yvonne Henry, BACP

Arriving here may mean someone is carrying a heavy load and wondering whether this is the right moment to seek support. That first step can feel intimidating, yet it often marks the start of change and does not have to be faced alone. Yvonne Henry is an accredited, fully qualified counsellor and a member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is a professional body for counsellors in the United Kingdom.

She works with adults aged 18 and over, offering support for 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 practice is warm, person-centred, and collaborative, and she focuses on helping people make sense of difficult thoughts and feelings while developing practical tools to feel calmer, stronger, and more able to manage daily life.

People who work with Yvonne often find her empathetic, reflective, and easy to talk to. She can integrate Christian faith and prayer into sessions when that matters to the client, while others prefer a purely therapeutic focus - the choice always rests with the individual. Her aim is to provide a safe and supportive space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered whether they choose faith, therapy, or both.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Yvonne draws on several evidence-informed approaches to tailor work to each person. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening with empathy and creating a non-judgemental space where the client leads the conversation; it is often helpful for building self-understanding and strengthening personal resources. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing difficult thoughts and emotions without getting stuck in them while clarifying personal values and taking meaningful action - it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and teaches practical strategies to reduce unhelpful patterns, which can support mood, anxiety, and confidence.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and will be shaped collaboratively. Yvonne will work with each client to identify which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, adapting her style as the work progresses.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to access registered professionals from different locations, fit sessions around busy schedules, and continue work through life transitions while maintaining continuity of care.
