About Rebecca
Rebecca Henderson is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationships and parenting strain. She works with those feeling low self-esteem, compassion fatigue or stuck and unsure how to move forward. Her approach is direct and warm, with a mix of listening, validation and gentle challenge to help clients find practical change.
Rebecca has seven years' experience across family services, schools, government-funded programs and private practice. That range means she has supported people from many different backgrounds and life stages. She often helps clients who need everyday coping tools, grief or end-of-life support, or guidance through family and communication problems.
In sessions she aims to identify what a person wants to work on and build a straightforward plan together. She uses reframing and practical steps to shift unhelpful patterns and restore motivation. She also draws on humour where it fits, while staying grounded when topics feel raw.
Rebecca lists evidence-based therapeutic techniques among her approaches and adapts them to each person's needs. She commonly addresses body image, codependency, caregiver stress, control issues and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Her work also covers forgiveness, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose.
Rebecca holds PACFA as her credential. Sessions are conducted in English in Australia. People who want to begin can use the site Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to therapist availability.
How evidence-based approaches are used online
Rebecca lists evidence-based therapeutic techniques among her approaches. One common method is cognitive restructuring, which helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try alternative ways of thinking. This can be useful for anxiety, low mood and self-esteem work.Another typical approach is behavioural activation, which focuses on adding small, practical actions into daily life to lift motivation and mood. This is often helpful when someone feels stuck or lacks energy to make changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will decide which techniques to try and adjust them as progress continues.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats also let people join without being on camera or with lower bandwidth, which can suit quieter check-ins or shorter appointments.
