Olenka Hennessey

Olenka Hennessey is a qualified integrative counsellor registered in the United Kingdom, with six years of experience supporting people through a range of emotional and life challenges. Her practice emphasises a sensitive, supportive and collaborative approach, with a focus on building a trusting therapeutic relationship that helps clients feel safe to explore their thoughts and feelings.

She offers space for clients to be heard and to speak their truth, working to increase self-awareness and to identify and challenge self-limiting beliefs. Olenka sees therapy as a personal and unique process and places importance on finding the right therapeutic fit to help clients feel understood and less alone as they sort through emotions and experiences.

Olenka specialises in helping people manage anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, bereavement and trauma, among other concerns. She also supports clients navigating life transitions such as becoming a parent, moving home, changing careers, children growing up, perimenopause or menopause, and coping with a diagnosis such as ADHD - all of which can create overwhelm and challenge a sense of identity.

Her integrative approach draws on evidence-based techniques, including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and is tailored to each person’s needs to foster insight, resilience and positive change. Olenka aims to empower clients to regain control, build coping strategies and create a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling.
