Rebecca Henderson, PACFA

Rebecca Henderson is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and parenting strains. She also supports carers facing compassion fatigue and those coping with low self-esteem or feeling stuck. Rebecca writes and speaks plainly, listens without judgement and uses humour when it helps clients relax.

Rebecca has seven years of experience working in family services, schools, government-funded programs and private practice. She has met people from many backgrounds and understands how life demands can build up over time. Sessions are practical and focused on clear goals the client sets.

In the room she will listen, reflect and gently challenge stuck patterns. She uses reframing to offer different perspectives and helps break big problems into manageable steps. The aim is to identify what matters to the client and map small, realistic changes to get moving again.

Rebecca also works with issues like body image, codependency, communication problems and family of origin concerns. She supports people dealing with end-of-life caregiving and grief, along with feelings of emptiness or isolation. Her approach suits people who want straightforward guidance and a steady, compassionate presence.

As a PACFA counsellor Rebecca follows industry-recognised standards. She encourages carers to bring practical concerns about burnout into sessions and will collaborate on strategies that fit daily life. To start, clients choose what to focus on and build a plan together.

How Rebecca uses evidence-based approaches in online care

Rebecca draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical change. One approach helps people learn new ways of thinking about stress and anxiety so those feelings become easier to manage; it involves spotting unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with small experiments. Another approach concentrates on improving communication and relationship patterns by identifying repetitive behaviours and practising different responses in real life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Rebecca will talk with the client about goals, preferences and life constraints, and then suggest which techniques to try. She treats this as a collaborative process and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also suit people who prefer to meet from their own routine environment while still working with an appropriately qualified counsellor to address stress, carer strain and relationship concerns.
