About Sally
Sally Henderson is a clinically registered counsellor with ACA (Australian Counselling Association) and PACFA (Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia) and has practised for 15 years. She works with adults who feel stuck after changes in work, relationships or health, helping with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and self-esteem concerns. She writes plainly and keeps sessions focused on practical steps and clear discussion about what matters to each person.
Her approach draws on therapies that help people notice what matters and take small steps toward it. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to work on thoughts, behaviour and meaningful action. Attachment-Based and Client-Centred approaches shape how she attends to relationship patterns and emotional safety in the room.
Sally has experience with trauma, including domestic and family violence, sexual assault, PTSD and complex PTSD. She also works with addiction issues such as alcohol, other drugs and gambling, and with eating and food-related concerns. She supports people dealing with adoption and foster care, blended family issues, caregiver stress, codependency and communication problems.
In sessions she talks through practical options for change, explores unhelpful patterns, and helps people build small, achievable steps. She will also discuss how values and meaning fit into decisions about work, relationships and wellbeing. For people unsure what comes next, she focuses on clear, manageable ways to test new directions.
Sessions are conducted in English in Australia. Prospective clients are asked to use the site booking flow to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. It is useful when someone feels directionless after change and wants practical ways to move toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behaviour patterns that maintain anxiety or low mood, and then testing small changes to see what helps. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and how early bonds affect current connections and communication.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and try methods together with the client, adjusting based on needs, goals and what feels useful. That collaborative process helps determine whether ACT, CBT or attachment-focused work is most helpful for the concern at hand.
Confirm the session formats available before booking via the site booking flow, as this profile does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, and offering options that suit work or caregiving schedules. The emphasis is on practical access and making therapy usable alongside daily responsibilities rather than on any single promised outcome.
