About Henry

BACP. Nine years' experience. Henry Eastman works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, career concerns and depression. He also focuses on issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family concerns, body image and chronic illness. Sessions are delivered in English and he practises in the United Kingdom.

Henry describes his practice as attachment-based and trauma-informed and uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques. He emphasises finding an approach that fits the person rather than forcing a single method. In conversation he helps people notice patterns, name difficult feelings and try different ways of responding to triggers.

He trained as a psychotherapist and as a couples therapist at recognised training organisations and has nine years of clinical experience. He has worked in NHS settings supporting people with a range of emotional and relational difficulties. He also offers craniosacral therapy and life coaching when these are appropriate for the client's needs.

In sessions he combines talking therapy with somatic elements when helpful. That can include noticing physical tension and bringing simple body-based practices into the work. Some people find this useful when talking alone has not shifted long-standing anxiety or trauma responses.

Henry aims to help people reduce stress and anxiety, strengthen boundaries and develop a clearer sense of identity. He also supports practical concerns such as communication problems and commitment issues. To begin, clients follow the service's matching process and book a first session after completing a short questionnaire.

Approaches used in remote counselling and what they offer

Henry draws on attachment-informed work which looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect present-day reactions; this helps when communication problems, commitment worries or difficulties with trust come up. He also uses trauma-informed methods that attend to how stress and past experiences shape the body and emotions; this can help reduce long-standing anxiety and overwhelm. In addition he combines talking therapy with somatic awareness, noticing bodily tension and using simple body-based practices to complement discussion and emotional understanding.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The counsellor will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, and then try ways of working that fit those needs. It is common to adjust methods over time if something isn’t helping.

Please confirm the available session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They can also be useful for keeping work on track between longer sessions or combining talking work with somatic practices without needing to travel.
