About Yvonne

Yvonne Henry is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with seven years' experience working with adults. She helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, low in confidence, or struggling with relationships and family issues. She also supports people facing bereavement, addiction, trauma and intimacy-related concerns. Yvonne works with adults 18 and over and can include faith perspectives when requested.

Her way of working is straightforward and person-centred. Sessions start by talking about what is most urgent and what a person wants to change. She listens for patterns in thoughts and behaviour, then helps clients notice small, practical steps they can try between sessions.

Yvonne draws on several evidence-based approaches to guide those steps. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people live by their values despite difficult thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Client-centred work keeps the conversation grounded in each person's experience.

In sessions she may also explore past relationship patterns to make sense of how current difficulties developed. Mindfulness techniques are offered to manage overwhelming feelings in the moment. When people want to include faith, Yvonne can integrate Christian practice and prayer alongside therapeutic work.

People who make time for therapy with her tend to focus on improving boundaries, handling strong emotions, and rebuilding self-worth. She works collaboratively so each plan fits what a person can realistically do between sessions. International clients may be supported, and sessions are conducted in English.

How sessions work

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when thoughts or feelings are difficult. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and codependency patterns where people put others first. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting the thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and practising different responses to change day-to-day functioning.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals and preferences in the first sessions and suggest which methods to try. Plans are reviewed and adjusted so the work fits what each person can manage between sessions.

The therapist's biography does not specify which session formats are offered. Please confirm the available formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around life commitments, avoid travel time, and use shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows people to continue therapy while living outside the therapist's local area, as international clients are accepted. Registered or accredited professionals can explain practical session arrangements when you schedule the first appointment.
