About Yvonne
Yvonne Henry is a BACP counsellor with seven years of practice supporting adults through difficult life moments. She welcomes people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, loss or relationship strain. Her manner is warm and straightforward, aimed at making it easier to open up and to start finding practical relief.
Yvonne uses a person-centred way of working that focuses on what matters to each person. Sessions look at thoughts and feelings that are causing distress and develop simple tools to manage them. She can include Christian faith and prayer in sessions if a client wants that, or keep the focus purely therapeutic depending on individual preference.
People come to Yvonne for a wide range of concerns. These include grief, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strains, anger, low self-esteem and major life changes. Additional areas she pays attention to include attachment, abandonment, adoption and foster care, ageing and caregiver stress, chronic illness and body image issues.
Her approach draws on a mix of methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas alongside client-centred work. Sessions combine listening and reflective conversation with practical exercises and coping strategies to try between meetings.
Yvonne works with adults aged 18 and over. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.
Therapeutic approaches and online working together
Yvonne uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and to focus on actions that match their values. ACT is often useful for anxiety, low mood and when people feel stuck in avoidance patterns. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify patterns of thinking and behaviour that maintain distress and to try practical exercises that can change those patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Yvonne treats therapy as a collaboration and will discuss which methods suit a person's goals and preferences. Together they decide whether to focus more on acceptance, behavioural change, mindfulness or reflective exploration as sessions progress.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, for example by reducing travel and letting people join from a quieter place at home or during a break. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed and make it simpler to continue therapy while travelling or living abroad. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and mindfulness practices for remote sessions so progress can continue between meetings.
