Compassion~Growth
Hello & welcome
My name is Rebecca, I am a certified relational gestalt counsellor and AASW registered social worker. I offer a private practice counselling service for individuals & couples based on the far South Coast of NSW, Australia.
My approach to your well-being is holistic & compassionate, person-centred, trauma aware, & grounded in evidence based attachment and developmental theories.
Drawing on over two decades of professional experience, I integrate a strengths-based therapeutic approach to therapy, wellness & ADHD coaching, incorporating additional certifications in mindfulness, restorative yoga & nutrition.
I offer both in-person or/& telehealth(video or phone) sessions. If you’re local to the area, getting support in the community you live can feel a little nerve wracking for some. Rest assured I understand this and always uphold strict confidentiality and privacy standards.
I support people from various life stages & backgrounds who are wanting to understand & resolve their feelings of distress & worry so that their lives become more enjoyable and less stressful. I help them to develop a wider range of coping strategies that can be used in their everyday life to empower growth & feelings of self-agency.
I help couples:
Find a way forward after a painful event
Reconnect & become more tuned into each others needs
Talk through sensitive topics, including money, infidelity, separation, addiction
Learn how to communicate with each other again
Make decisions around family life
Who are trying to conceive or deciding if they want to become parents
Who have experienced a trauma and need a supported space to talk through what has occurred
I help individuals:
Emotionally process & develop insight around past, current or anticipated worries, stress & overwhelm
Develop coping strategies to improve their daily lives, including accommodations or adjustments
Reconnect with self-agency
Talk through patterns that are destructive
Develop body & mind awareness with mindfulness techniques
Process grief & loss
Gain clarity on the issue & what their needs & hopes for change are
Maybe you know it’s time to get support & stop managing alone.
Many people spend years putting up with feeling low, burnt out & trying to outrun stress & worry.
I offer support that is gentle, compassionate & empathic, helping you get to know your experience fully & develop strategies for growth. Having someone listen & compassionately witness your situation could just be the place that could help alleviate the difficulty you are experiencing.
