About Yvonne

Yvonne Henry is a counsellor with seven years' experience supporting adults through difficult life moments. She works with people facing anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, relationship and family problems, bereavement, and other concerns. She uses a warm, person-centred style that aims to make talking feel straightforward and calm.

In sessions she helps clients name the feelings that feel overwhelming. She listens and reflects back what she hears so people can make sense of their experience. Practical tools and small changes are introduced to help reduce worry and build steadiness day to day.

Faith can be part of the conversation when clients want it. She can include Christian faith and prayer alongside talking therapies, or keep the work purely therapeutic if that is preferred. The client decides what feels right.

Yvonne draws on several therapy approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, mindfulness, psychodynamic ideas and a client-centred way of working. These are used flexibly to fit each person’s needs rather than as fixed rules.

She also supports people with a range of specific issues such as codependency, addiction, trauma, parenting strains, chronic health concerns and body image worries. Sessions are aimed at helping people feel more able to cope, make clearer choices and regain a sense of control in daily life.

How therapeutic approaches work online and in practice

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them. It focuses on values and small actions that move a person toward a life they care about, which can help with anxiety, stress and codependency patterns.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect. It breaks worries into manageable steps and teaches practical tools for coping with panic, low mood, obsessions or unhelpful habits.

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor offers empathic listening and reflection so clients can explore their own answers and make clearer choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Yvonne will work together with each person to decide which ideas and techniques feel most helpful for their goals and preferences. That choice can shift as therapy progresses and new priorities emerge.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, for example by removing travel time or allowing a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. Practical details such as which session formats are offered are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can offer online work that mirrors in-person aims, with an emphasis on making helpful, usable change.
