About Rebecca
Rebecca Henderson is a PACFA counsellor in Australia with seven years of practice across family services, schools, government programs and private work. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting pressures and low self esteem. Rebecca also supports those facing compassion fatigue and people wanting a clearer direction in life.
Rebecca listens and reflects back what she hears. In sessions she will reframe situations and gently challenge unhelpful thinking. She uses everyday language and a practical focus so conversations feel direct and understandable. She also keeps a sense of humour and aims to make it easier to talk about difficult things.
Her experience includes working with people from diverse backgrounds and a range of life stages. Rebecca has supported clients through family problems and family of origin issues, and she works with concerns around control, codependency and communication. She also provides support for caregiver stress, body image and issues linked to guilt and shame.
In the first meetings she helps people name what they want to change and sets a simple plan for sessions. Work may include looking at patterns that came from childhood, trying different ways of communicating, and setting practical steps to reduce stress. Sessions are aimed at finding manageable changes rather than big, abstract goals.
Rebecca practices in Australia and conducts sessions in English. She asks new clients to complete a brief matching questionnaire before booking a first session so the initial appointment can focus on the most important concerns.
Approaches used and how online sessions work
Rebecca uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change. One common approach is pragmatic problem-solving that breaks larger worries into small, manageable steps to reduce stress and increase day-to-day coping. Another approach involves examining interpersonal patterns that began in family life and practising new communication skills to improve close relationships. These methods are explained in plain terms and applied to real situations people bring to sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will collaborate with the client to identify goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan if something is not helpful. The process is conversational and aimed at finding what works for the person's circumstances and preferences.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find remote sessions helpful for maintaining continuity when life is hectic, and the therapist will discuss practical arrangements and session length when arranging appointments.
