Rebecca Henderson is a counsellor with seven years of experience helping people through stressful times. She listens, validates and offers gentle challenge so clients can move forward. Her approach is warm and straightforward, with a bit of humour when it fits.

Rebecca has worked in family services, schools, government-funded programs and private practice. She has supported people from many walks of life, including those coping with stress, anxiety and burnout from work. She also helps people with relationship issues, parenting strain, and low self-esteem.

Her wider focus includes body image, caregiver stress, codependency and communication problems. She also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, isolation and questions about life purpose. Rebecca can talk through end-of-life and hospice related concerns with sensitivity.

In sessions she will help you pick a clear goal and make a practical plan. Conversations include listening, reframing unhelpful thoughts and offering small steps to try between sessions. She aims to make therapy feel manageable and relevant to day-to-day life.

Sessions are offered in English and are delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Rebecca works from Australia and does not take international clients. If you want to start, the simple matching questionnaire helps connect you and schedule a time to begin.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Rebecca uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people clarify goals and make small, practical changes. One approach focuses on identifying and reframing unhelpful thoughts so they cause less distress and allow clearer decision-making. This is useful for anxiety, low mood and worry about relationships.

Another common approach emphasises problem-solving and behavioural steps. Together the counsellor and client break problems into manageable tasks, try small experiments between sessions and review what works. This helps with burnout, motivation and parenting strains.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rebecca will talk through options with you, adapt methods to your needs and check in about what feels helpful. The plan can change as your goals shift, so you remain part of deciding what to try next.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let you use visual cues and a fuller conversation, phone sessions require less bandwidth, live chat can suit brief check-ins and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and daily routines.
