About Jessica
Jessica Henderson works with people facing sleep and rest problems alongside stress, anxiety, grief, depression and issues with self-esteem. She also supports those managing trauma, domestic violence, addictions and relationship and intimacy-related concerns. Her tone is calm and direct, and she aims to make first conversations straightforward and manageable for someone feeling overwhelmed.
Jess is presented as a counsellor with three years of experience and holds NCPS as a credential. She trained in Person Centred Counselling and has been trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for anxiety and depression. Her background in mental health nursing informs how she listens and responds during sessions.
Sessions focus on practical steps and conversational work. She uses client-centred ideas to follow what matters most to the person in front of her. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy tools are used when unhelpful thoughts or routines are getting in the way of sleep, mood or daily functioning.
Trauma-Focused Therapy is part of the approach when past harm or abuse is slowing recovery. Jess says she tailors conversations and plans to each person’s needs, pacing work so it feels manageable rather than rushed.
People meet her for both short-term problem solving and longer work on deeper patterns. She highlights respect, sensitivity and compassion as the basis for sessions, and encourages small practical changes alongside talking through difficult feelings.
Approaches that guide online work and sleep support
Client-Centred Therapy is about following the person's priorities and creating space to talk without judgement. It helps people clarify what matters to them and feel heard while making changes at their own pace.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts, behaviours and routines affect mood and sleep. It offers clear techniques to shift unhelpful thinking, build better sleep habits and reduce anxiety-driven wakefulness.
Trauma-Focused Therapy looks at how past harm can keep a person feeling unsafe or on edge. When used, it aims to address those patterns gently and in ways chosen together by the person and the therapist.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods as needed. That way the work fits the person's needs rather than forcing a single model.
If you are considering online sessions, check the current session options before booking as formats are not listed in the original profile. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and daily routines. It can also allow shorter check-ins, reduce travel time and make it simpler to access regular support when sleep or anxiety make leaving the house difficult.
