About Rebecca
Rebecca Henderson welcomes people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure where to begin. She helps individuals work through stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting pressures and low self-esteem in a calm, direct way. Rebecca writes short, practical plans with clients and checks progress each session.
Rebecca has seven years of counselling experience across family services, schools, government programs and independent practice. She has supported people experiencing burnout, problem gambling, lack of motivation and those needing help through a difficult period.
How Rebecca works
She listens closely, offers validation and uses gentle reframing to open new perspectives. Sessions are conversational and down-to-earth. Rebecca will help you name the most important issues, set achievable goals and try small changes between sessions.
She brings a sense of humour alongside serious support for people who find it hard to talk with friends or family. Her work also includes compassion fatigue, body image concerns, caregiver stress, codependency and communication problems. Rebecca helps clients sort family of origin issues, forgive themselves, and find clearer direction about life purpose.
Rebecca holds PACFA and works from an evidence-informed approach. She tailors methods to each person’s needs and pace, and collaborates on what will be most useful in day-to-day life.

Online support options
Practical approaches and flexible online care
Rebecca uses evidence-based techniques focused on clear problem solving and supportive dialogue. One common approach is goal-focused work that breaks bigger worries into small, doable steps to test between sessions; this helps with anxiety, low motivation and burnout. Another approach is reflective listening combined with reframing, which helps people see different sides of a relationship problem or shift harsh self-judgement.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Rebecca will talk through your needs, preferences and life demands, then suggest options and adjust methods as you go. The plan changes if something isn’t helpful and you remain involved in choosing what to try next.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video sessions allow more face-to-face conversation, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and other commitments.
