About Sally
Sally Henderson is an experienced counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions and the effects of trauma. She also supports those working through relationship struggles and low self-esteem. Her approach aims to make taking the first step feel less daunting and more doable.
Sally uses straightforward, human-centred methods to create an open space where thoughts and feelings can be talked about without judgement. She encourages small practical steps alongside emotional work so people can notice change between sessions. Conversation is calm and focused on the concerns you bring to the room.
With 15 years of practice in Australia, Sally has worked with a range of difficulties including domestic and family violence, sexual assault, and complex trauma such as PTSD and C-PTSD. She has supported people facing addictions, gambling problems, and substance concerns, and helps with issues around parenting, blended families and adoption-related questions. Work on self-harm thoughts, suicidal thinking, and motivation has also been part of her clinical experience.
Her methods draw on several well-known approaches such as acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based thinking, cognitive behavioural tools and client-centred conversation. These are used in a way that suits each person rather than following a fixed script. Sally aims to empower people to make choices that fit their values and life circumstances.

How Sally’s approaches translate to online therapy
Sally draws on acceptance and commitment ideas and attachment-based approaches alongside client-centred conversation. Acceptance and commitment work focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and choosing actions that fit your values, which can help with anxiety, stress and motivation. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build different ways of relating. Client-centred therapy provides a respectful, non-judgemental space where the client’s perspective leads the pace of work.Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Sally will talk with you about your goals and preferences and recommend techniques that match your situation. She adapts methods over time, checking that what you’re doing feels useful and fits with your day-to-day life.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they reduce travel time, make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Others prefer longer conversations that allow deeper processing. Discussing practical arrangements early lets you pick a format that works with your schedule and circumstances.
