About Yvonne
Yvonne Henry is a counsellor with seven years' experience supporting adults through difficult times. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or loss. Her work includes practical support for relationship and family concerns as well as struggles with self-esteem and coping with life changes.
She meets people where they are and keeps sessions focused and down-to-earth.
How Yvonne works
Conversations aim to make sense of difficult feelings and to build simple, usable tools. Sometimes that looks like talking through thinking patterns, other times it is developing routines for better sleep or managing urges around addictive behaviours. Yvonne uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person.
She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques are used to change patterns that drive anxiety and low mood. Client-centred listening gives space to reflect and be heard.
She also offers support around grief, trauma and intimacy-related concerns, plus practical help with parenting stress, career worries and chronic health challenges. Sessions can include discussion of values and meaning when that is important to the person. Sessions are offered in English and Yvonne works with both UK and international clients.
People begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then arranging sessions that suit their schedule.

Therapeutic approaches explained and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting carried away by them. It focuses on identifying personal values and taking small steps that move life in a meaningful direction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical techniques to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Client-Centred Therapy prioritises empathic listening and giving the person space to reflect so they feel understood and supported.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will talk with each person about what feels helpful and try different methods until a comfortable fit emerges. This collaborative process is guided by the person’s goals, preferences and the issues they bring.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls are useful for full conversations, phone sessions can be easier when less bandwidth is needed, chat can suit quick check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, caring duties and different time zones while keeping the focus on meaningful progress.
