Jessica Henderson, NCPS

Jessica Henderson is a registered mental health nurse and counsellor who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, motivation difficulties, depression, trauma, and domestic violence. She brings three years of clinical experience to her work and combines nursing background with therapeutic training to offer practical, compassionate care tailored to each person's situation. Jessica is qualified in Person-Centred Counselling and has training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focused on anxiety and depression, and she holds the NCPS credential, a professional qualification she applies in her practice.

Jessica approaches therapy with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, shaping conversations and treatment plans around each client’s unique needs and goals. She emphasizes a collaborative process that helps people build confidence, cope with life changes, and develop strategies for managing difficult emotions and behaviours. Taking the first step toward greater well-being can be challenging, and Jessica provides steady support through that process, drawing on both her counselling qualifications and her mental health nursing experience to guide clients toward more fulfilling, balanced lives.

She looks forward to working with people who are ready to explore change and growth, offering an empathetic, person-focused approach that adapts to what each client needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Jessica uses client-centred therapy to create a supportive, non-directive space where the client's own goals and values guide the work. This approach helps people build self-understanding, improve self-esteem, and make choices that reflect what matters most to them.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and developing practical strategies to manage anxiety and depressive symptoms. CBT is often used to address worry, low mood, and difficulties in daily functioning.

For clients affected by trauma or domestic violence, Trauma-Focused Therapy offers targeted ways to process distressing experiences and develop coping skills. Jessica adapts trauma-informed techniques to each person’s pace and readiness.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process, and Jessica works collaboratively with clients to select methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review progress and adjust the plan as work unfolds.

Online sessions - whether by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - offer flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. These options increase accessibility for clients who prefer remote care, need scheduling convenience, or benefit from the variety of communication styles available.
