Yvonne Henry, BACP

Yvonne Henry is a counsellor with seven years' experience working with adults in the United Kingdom. She is a BACP member, and she helps people who are carrying heavy worries, from anxiety and stress to relationship strains and grief. She makes a point of offering a calm, approachable space where people can begin to make sense of difficult feelings.

Yvonne uses a person-centred style that keeps the client’s priorities at the heart of sessions. She listens, reflects, and helps people spot practical steps they can try between meetings. Where helpful, she brings in mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to reduce overwhelm and increase day-to-day coping skills.

Her work also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that keep problems repeating. This can include exploring attachment themes, abandonment issues, low self-esteem, and past trauma. She supports people navigating life changes such as caregiving stress, chronic illness, adoption and foster care questions, or the impacts of bereavement.

Yvonne can include Christian faith and prayer in sessions when a client wants that. Alternatively, she offers a purely therapeutic approach if that suits better. She discusses these preferences openly so people can choose what feels right for them.

Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. To begin, people are invited to use the site start process and book according to the therapist’s scheduling options.

Therapeutic approaches for online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, then focus on small values-led actions. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and managing ongoing stress. Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work; the therapist offers non-judgemental listening and reflection so people can find their own directions. This approach suits those wanting an empathic space to make sense of feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which can be helpful for anxiety, sleep problems and low self-esteem.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before, and will adapt methods to fit each person. That collaborative decision helps ensure the chosen techniques match what the client wants to achieve.

Practical benefits of online sessions depend on the formats offered, which are not specified in the biography. Please confirm current session options before booking. In general online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a brief conversation will do. It also makes access possible for people living abroad who want to work with a UK-based BACP counsellor.
