About Yvonne
Yvonne Henry is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has seven years of experience working with adults on difficulties such as anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, relationship and family issues, grief and loss, and other life changes.
Yvonne works in a person-centred way. She listens to what matters to each person and helps them make sense of distressing thoughts and feelings. Sessions focus on practical steps people can take to feel steadier and regain a sense of control.
She uses a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques and psychodynamic ideas. This means the work can include noticing thoughts, trying new actions, paying attention to the present moment, and looking at patterns that developed over time.
Yvonne can include Christian faith and prayer in sessions when a client wants that. If someone prefers to keep the work purely therapeutic, that is equally respected. Decisions about faith and therapy are made together in sessions.
Her practice covers a wide range of concerns beyond the main issues listed. These include addiction, intimacy-related difficulties, eating and sleeping problems, parenting pressures, chronic illness and caregiver stress, attachment and abandonment issues, and body image and communication problems.
Sessions are for adults aged 18 and over. Yvonne sees people in the United Kingdom and accepts English-speaking international clients. She works collaboratively to agree goals and practical next steps during the first meetings.
Therapeutic approaches and remote counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and move towards actions that reflect what matters to them. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and includes practical techniques to change patterns that cause distress. Client-centred therapy emphasises a respectful, non-directive relationship where the client's own priorities lead the work.Finding the right approach is part of the early work. Yvonne will discuss your goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together you will try methods and adjust them as needed rather than sticking to one fixed plan.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Many people find remote sessions help fit counselling into a busy week, make it easier to attend from different locations, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. A discussion about practical arrangements is included when you first make contact so sessions can be arranged to suit everyday life.
