Rebecca Henderson, PACFA

Rebecca Henderson is a counsellor with seven years' experience supporting people through stressful life moments. She listens without judgement, helps people name what matters, and works with them to move forward at a manageable pace.

She has worked in family services, schools, government-funded programs and private practice. That variety means she has helped people from many different backgrounds and life stages. Common concerns she sees include stress, anxiety, relationship and parenting strain, low self-esteem and compassion fatigue.

Rebecca aims for practical, down-to-earth sessions. She uses listening, validation, gentle challenge and reframing to help people stuck in old patterns. She also brings a sense of humour when it helps a client feel lighter.

In a typical appointment she will help you clarify what you want to work on and build a clear, step-by-step plan. Sessions focus on achievable changes you can try between meetings and on noticing small shifts over time.

Rebecca also supports people dealing with body image, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, family of origin issues, guilt and shame, loneliness and finding life purpose. She can offer guidance around end-of-life and hospice-related concerns as well.

She holds PACFA as a credential and conducts sessions in English. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to therapist availability.

Approaches that guide online work and practical benefits

Rebecca uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in a straightforward way. One common approach is collaborative problem-solving, which breaks issues into small steps and helps people test changes between sessions; this approach suits stress, motivation and practical life problems. Another is emotion-focused listening and reframing, which supports people dealing with anxiety, grief, guilt or relationship strain by helping them name feelings and see alternative perspectives.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will work together with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan as progress and preferences become clearer. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling around work and family commitments and avoiding travel time so sessions can fit into a busy week. Online work can also make brief check-ins or follow-up conversations simpler to arrange. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm current session options before booking to ensure they suit your routine and comfort.
