Sally Henderson

Sally Henderson is an ACA and PACFA counsellor with 15 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck by stress, anxiety, addiction and relationship difficulties. She also works with people dealing with trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and the complex feelings that come with adoption and foster care. Her tone is direct and compassionate, aiming to make first steps feel manageable.

Sally creates a calm space where clients can talk through painful memories and current pressures without judgement. She encourages practical choices that match a person's values and everyday life. Conversations cover what is happening now, how it connects to the past, and small steps that can reduce overwhelm.

Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and respond differently to difficult thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used for identifying unhelpful thinking and building new patterns. Attachment-Based techniques support work on early relationship patterns and how they affect current connections.

Sally treats addiction, domestic and family violence impacts, dissociation, and eating-related difficulties with a steady, attentive style. She also supports people facing separation, blended family stress, caregiving strain and communication breakdowns. Sessions aim to restore a clearer sense of choice and agency.

If someone wants to begin, Sally asks them to share what matters most and what they hope to change. She works alongside people to set realistic goals and to adapt tools until they fit real life. The focus is on useful, readable steps rather than jargon.
