Yvonne Henry, BACP

Yvonne Henry is a counsellor with seven years of experience supporting adults who feel overwhelmed by life changes. She works with people who are struggling with anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, loss, relationship and family difficulties, and other challenges. She offers a calm, approachable presence to help people begin to untangle what feels heavy.

Her way of working is person-centred and collaborative. Sessions focus on making sense of thoughts and feelings, and on practical steps that help someone feel steadier day to day. She can include elements of faith and prayer when that matters to the person, or keep the work purely therapeutic depending on what the client prefers.

Yvonne draws on a mix of approaches to match the needs in the room. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice their values and take small steps towards them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps with changing patterns of thinking that feed anxiety and low mood. Mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas also shape her conversations when they suit the client.

People come to her for a wide range of concerns beyond stress and anxiety, such as grief, addictions, trauma, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strains, chronic illness, and issues around attachment and body image. She also supports those facing life transitions and career stress.

Yvonne works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. She holds BACP accreditation and brings a respectful, non-judgemental style to each appointment.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small, meaningful steps even when uncomfortable feelings are present. It is useful for stress, anxiety and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, low mood and sleeping problems. Client-Centred Therapy centres on a respectful, non-judgemental relationship so the person can explore their concerns at their own pace and feel heard.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped in the past. Together they will choose or combine methods that suit the person’s needs in a collaborative way rather than imposing a single model.

The original biography does not list specific session formats. Before booking, confirm which online or in-person formats are currently offered. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into work and family routines, useful when travel time is limited, or helpful for shorter check-ins. Others prefer in-person meetings when those are available. Discuss practical arrangements with the therapist to match sessions to everyday life and commitments.
