Hello and welcome!
My name is Henrietta (Henri for short), and I’m a dedicated and compassionate counsellor based in Summertown, Oxford, and working remotely across the UK.
As a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP), holding advanced qualifications in psychodynamic practice (Dip Psych (Oxon), Cert Psych), I am passionate about providing a safe, deeply supportive space. Whether you are navigating a late-in-life ADHD discovery, managing burnout, or looking to understand your unique executive functioning, my practice is entirely tailored to your individual needs.
While I support clients across a broad range of challenges, my specialist focus is working with neurodivergent adults and young people experiencing distress around food, eating, and body image. This includes navigating binge eating, emotional eating, restrictive patterns, or all-or-nothing eating cycles. Because these challenges rarely exist in isolation, our work together also deeply holds and supports you through the closely related experiences of overwhelm, emotional regulation, anxiety, masking, and burnout.
Together, we’ll explore your experiences with curiosity and compassion, making sense of how your past and present connect. Drawing on my knowledge of Autism, ADHD, anxiety, and eating disorders, I offer insights and practical strategies to support growth, self-acceptance, and positive change.
As a neurodiversity-affirming therapist, I value the beautiful differences that make each person unique. My approach is strengths-based and collaborative. I don’t aim to fix or cure, but to help you understand yourself more deeply and live in a way that feels more aligned and authentic to you.
I’m LGBTQIA+ affirming and work to provide a safe and supportive space for all identities.
Please note that I do not provide specialist treatment for severe or medically high-risk eating disorders requiring intensive or multidisciplinary support.
