Debbie Henderson

Clinical Psychologist
(Mondays 3:00 to 7:30 pm; Wednesdays 8:30 am to 5:30 pm)

I first qualified as a psychologist over 20 years ago.Since that time, I have worked in the corporate setting, public and private health settings, and the school environment. I have worked with a variety of people, from CEOs of top 100 companies to hospitalised clients with long term mental health issues. Clinically I have worked in high schools, eating disorder clinics, hospitals and private practice. Currently, on the days I am not at work at Glenorie, I work as a consultant clinical psychologist to one of the world’s leading health care providers.

I believe that at the heart of any behaviour change is a respectful relationship. I love hearing people’s life stories and enjoy working with them to help them to implement change. I enjoy a good rapport with teenagers through to some of my more senior clients – and I love the diversity of the clients I see at Glenorie. I utilise a diverse range of therapy techniques, but most commonly CBT (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy), ACT (Acceptance Commitment Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy). Schema Therapy and supportive counselling.
I have both a Masters in Clinical Psychology and a Masters in Organisational Psychology. I have registrations with Medicare, SIRA (to allow therapy through workers compensation – if eligible), AHPRA and am a member of the Australian Psychological Society. When not working I enjoy hanging out with my husband, three teenage children and two dogs.

I am a consultant clinical pharmacist with more than 25 years of experience, across Community Pharmacy, Medicines Information and Medication Reviews.

I joined Glenorie District Medical Centre in 2023 as the Pharmacist-in-General-Practice part time and enjoy working together with the team in this community. My focus is helping you get the most benefit from your medicines and other therapies to be as healthy as possible. I grew up in country NSW and moved to Sydney to study pharmacy.
