About Olenka Hennessey
She creates a space where clients can be heard and encouraged to speak honestly, with an emphasis on increasing self-awareness and uncovering insights that support meaningful change. She works to challenge self-limiting beliefs while recognising that therapy is personal and that the relationship and fit between client and therapist are essential. Her aim is to help clients feel more comfortable and less isolated when exploring feelings, thoughts, and life experiences.
Olenka specialises in a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, low self esteem, bereavement, trauma and abuse, and issues related to intimacy, family dynamics, parenting, eating and sleeping. She also supports people through life transitions such as becoming a parent, moving home, career change, children growing up, perimenopause and menopause, and adapting to an ADHD diagnosis.
Her work is integrative and draws on evidence-based methods. She uses client-centered therapy, mindfulness-based approaches, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies, tailoring techniques to the individual needs of each client. Grounded in compassion and empathy, her practice aims to empower clients to build resilience, confront limiting beliefs, and pursue a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling.
Olenka maintains a private practice, which is listed at www.therapywitholenka.co.uk.

Clients can connect with a therapist in the way that feels most comfortable: by video call, by phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging. This range of options can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care during transitions.
Therapists who provide online care are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to switch to a different therapist if a different fit is preferred. For many people, remote sessions offer an accessible way to engage in therapeutic work while maintaining the core benefits of professional support.
