About Sally
Sally Henderson is an ACA and PACFA counsellor with 15 years of experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. She works with individuals who are overwhelmed by worry, struggling with addictive behaviour, or facing the aftermath of trauma. Sally writes plainly and listens closely to what matters most to each person.
Her sessions focus on creating a non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be talked through. She aims to help clients build practical steps for change, regain confidence, and reconnect with what gives life meaning.
Background and approach
The first appointments usually clarify goals and what a client hopes to get from therapy. Sally draws on several approaches to match each person's needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thinking and develop workable habits.
Attachment-based ideas help when past relationships shape present fears or relationship patterns. Over 15 years she has supported people with addiction, domestic and family violence, sexual assault, PTSD and complex PTSD, self-harm thoughts, and relationship problems. She also helps with body image, caregiver stress, blended family issues and family of origin concerns.
Her practice pays attention to safety and emotional pacing so the work feels manageable. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. Sally asks new clients to start with a short questionnaire so she can match the approach to the person's current needs and goals.
How Sally’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It supports identifying personal values and choosing small actions that move life in a wanted direction, which can help with anxiety and avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing out different behaviours. It is useful for reducing worry and building problem-solving skills. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build healthier ways of relating and feeling safer in relationships.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Sally will talk with each person about what they want to achieve and suggest methods that fit their goals and comfort level. Together they can try an approach and adjust it as the work proceeds so the method stays useful.
Online therapy offers flexibility and practical options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a more connected session is helpful. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can suit a shorter check-in or someone who prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging supports brief reflections, ongoing tracking of progress, or people who find typing easier than speaking. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
