About Rebecca

Rebecca Henderson is a counsellor with seven years' experience supporting people through stressful and confusing times. She offers a calm, down-to-earth presence and listens without judgement. Many clients come for help with anxiety, relationship strain, parenting pressures, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue and codependency concerns.

Rebecca has worked in family services, schools, government-funded support programs and private practice. This variety means she is used to different life situations and practical problems. She aims to understand each person's situation before suggesting ways forward.

In sessions Rebecca listens, validates, reframes and gently challenges unhelpful patterns. She uses straightforward language and a touch of humour when it feels right. Together with the client she identifies one or two clear goals and builds a simple plan to reach them.

Rebecca also supports people dealing with body image worries, caregiver stress, guilt and shame, family of origin issues and feelings of emptiness or isolation. She offers calm guidance around end-of-life and hospice-related concerns as well.

Her approach is collaborative and practical. Sessions focus on steps clients can try between meetings, along with reflection about what is holding them back. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Practical approaches for online and goal-focused work

Rebecca uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people make small, manageable changes. One approach she commonly draws on involves helping clients notice and reframe unhelpful thoughts so anxiety and low mood become easier to manage; this suits people wanting clearer steps to reduce worry. Another focuses on behavioural changes and small experiments in everyday life to build confidence and shift stuck patterns; this can help with motivation, self-esteem and relationship habits.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rebecca will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they decide which techniques to try. She adjusts the plan as work proceeds so it stays relevant and useful for the client’s situation.

Please confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow a quicker check-in when life is hectic. Different formats also suit different needs - for example a shorter phone check-in can be useful on a work break, while a longer session might help when tackling deeper relationship or family issues.
