Rosalind Henderson, BACP

Rosalind Henderson is a compassionate, master's‑level Pluralistic Counsellor who combines academic training with practical experience supporting people through relationship, emotional and life transitions. With an MSc in Counselling and three years of clinical practice, she brings particular attention to how early experiences and attachment patterns shape present-day choices, emotional reactions and internal dialogue. Having worked in the creative industries, she has a strong interest in nurturing creative minds and understanding how career, identity and cultural expectations can conflict with an authentic sense of self.

Rosalind helps clients who feel easily overwhelmed by strong emotions such as anger, fear, shame or anxiety, those who wrestle with feelings of rejection or inadequacy, and people who find themselves stuck in patterns of avoidance or anxious attachment. She also works with challenges that arise from grief, loss, family difficulty, prejudice, addiction and other life stressors that can leave someone feeling drained, disconnected or shut down. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, depression, self‑esteem, intimacy issues, trauma, parenting and neurodiversity considerations such as autism and Asperger syndrome.

In sessions she offers an accepting, collaborative space to explore experience with insight and compassion, drawing on approaches that help clients reconnect with inner values, develop self‑awareness and rebuild a sense of purpose. Rosalind is a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), has completed online‑therapy training and certification with The Online Therapy Institute, holds professional liability insurance and is a member of the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Disclosure Scotland scheme.

Evidence-Informed Approaches Delivered Online

Rosalind Henderson draws on a small set of complementary therapies to tailor support to each person’s needs. Attachment‑Based Therapy explores the ways early relationships shape current patterns of relating and can help when difficulties include fear of abandonment, avoidance of intimacy or repeating unwanted relationship cycles. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and developing practical skills to live in alignment with those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than being dominated by them. Client‑Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship that prioritizes the client's own experience and pace of change and is helpful for building self‑esteem and emotional self‑understanding.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work itself. Rosalind collaborates with clients to identify which methods fit best with their goals, preferences and life context, and she adapts techniques as trust and insight grow. Her online training and certification support a flexible remote practice.

Online sessions via video call, phone, live chat or text‑based messaging offer practical benefits for people juggling work, family or mobility needs. These options make regular contact more accessible, allow continuity during life changes, and provide different ways to communicate so clients can select the format that feels most comfortable and effective for them.
