About Sally
Sally Henderson is an ACA and PACFA counsellor who helps people untangle overwhelming stress, anxiety, addiction and relationship pain. She keeps language simple and meetings practical so nervous callers can quickly see what to expect. Sally aims to make the first steps feel manageable and supported.
Sally draws on 15 years of work with people facing trauma, domestic and family violence, sexual assault, and complex stress reactions such as PTSD and C-PTSD. She also supports people dealing with addiction, gambling, and substance issues, and those struggling with low self-esteem or motivation. Her background includes work with adoption and foster care matters, attachment concerns and blended family challenges.
In sessions Sally focuses on listening without judgment and helping people notice what matters to them. She uses tools from cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to bring everyday changes into focus. Attachment-based ideas help when relationships and early bonds are part of the concern.
Sally describes therapy as a practical collaboration. Together they set small goals, test ideas between sessions and adjust the plan as life changes. She aims to help people build steadier routines, clearer boundaries and better ways to talk about difficult feelings.
People who prefer straightforward language and a steady, empathic approach often find her style helpful. Sally works in Australia and conducts sessions in English, guiding clients through recovery and stronger day-to-day coping.
Approach-driven online counselling and practical tools
Sally commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based therapy when working online. ACT helps people clarify personal values and take small, meaningful steps even with difficult feelings. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people try new ways of connecting.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client will discuss goals, preferences and how comfortable the client feels with different methods. That conversation guides which techniques are used and how sessions are structured, making the process collaborative rather than one-size-fits-all.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow check-ins from wherever a person is able to attend. It can also let people choose shorter or longer meetings depending on their routine, or select quieter times of day to focus on emotional work. Appropriately qualified therapists adapt approaches so online sessions support steady progress and practical change.
