Rosalind Henderson

Rosalind Henderson is a qualified Pluralistic Counsellor who holds a Postgraduate Master’s Degree (MSc) in Counselling. She has worked in the creative industries and enjoys supporting and nurturing creative minds.

Her practice is informed by an understanding that early life experiences shape identity and influence adult choices, emotional responses and internal dialogue. Rosalind works with people who find themselves overwhelmed by strong emotions such as anger, fear, shame, anxiety or self-doubt, or who feel easily rejected, judged or inadequate. She also supports those who feel trapped in hopeless states or who face conflict between family or cultural expectations and their authentic identity - a kind of double bind.

She explores patterns such as prioritising an external sense of self - through job, possessions or status - to the detriment of personal wellbeing, and the habit of putting others first. Rosalind addresses attachment-related difficulties, whether that appears as anxiety and quickly deepening relationships or as avoidance of closeness while still longing for connection. She also recognises how ongoing anxiety can produce physical symptoms that affect overall health.

Rosalind acknowledges that current challenges - difficult family relationships, isolation, grief, loss, worry or experiences of prejudice - can leave people feeling anxious, depressed, stuck, closed off, disconnected or drained.

In therapy sessions she offers a safe and confidential space to explore these experiences with compassion, acceptance and curiosity, with the aim of bringing new perspectives that help clients reconnect with their authentic selves, lift the burden of grievance and self-doubt, learn to trust inner wisdom and rediscover a sense of purpose while becoming more attuned to the body’s experience.

She is a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and follows the BACP Ethical Framework for the counselling professions. Rosalind has completed online-therapy training and holds certification with The Online Therapy Institute, carries professional liability insurance and is a member of the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Disclosure Scotland scheme.
