About Rebecca

& Willow

Rebecca is a registered counsellor and member of the Australian Counsellors Association (ACA) and Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA). She has a Masters of Education in Guidance and Counselling, with Distinction, and a Bachelor of Education with a Major in Special Needs.

Rebecca has completed training and/or is certified in Sandtray Therapy, Play Therapy, Gottmans Lvl 1&2, EFT, IFS, ACT, CBT, DBT, EMDR and Sex Therapy Practices. She uses evidence-based, person-centred approaches to support individuals and couples in their unique journey.

Rebecca has a strong interest in Animal-Assisted Therapy (AAT) and has completed a research project examining its impact within school settings. She is currently undertaking further research into the role of AAT in supporting people experiencing post-traumatic stress (PTSD), with a particular focus on Australian Defence Force (ADF) personnel and first responders. Her passion for this research is shaped by her respect for those who have served and strengthened by her personal connection through an immediate family member who is currently serving.

Rebecca looks forward to incorporating AAT into her work in the near future alongside her five-year-old Labrador, Willow, a trained clinical therapy dog.

Rebecca has over twenty years of professional experience working with children and adolescents, their families, allied health professionals, and NDIS providers, in the education sector. She has provided case management, consultation, intervention, screening, and referrals to specialist services, as an Inclusive Education Coordinator and Wellbeing Officer. As a school Guidance Counsellor, Rebecca provides counselling and psychoeducational assessment services for children and adolescents in the school setting.

Through Rebecca's private practice, face-to-face sessions are available for individuals and couples. This enables clients to access in-person counselling, sand tray and play therapy services. Rebecca provides telehealth services Australia-wide to adults, teens, and children.

Rebecca understands the complexities of accessing in-person services in a community that has varying rosters and shifts. Therefore, Rebecca offers early morning, evening, and weekend appointments upon request. Please contact Rebecca to organise a mutually suitable appointment time.

Our Services

Sandtray Therapy

Sandtray therapy helps individuals work through painful conscious or unconscious memories.

Sand play is a nonverbal, symbolic and sensory form of therapy that allows individuals the opportunity to portray feelings, experiences, and internal states, often difficult to express in words. This technique facilitates healing, gaining insight, and problem-solving.

Play Therapy

Play therapy provides a safe space for children to play out their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. It supports emotional regulation and social skills, and gives children a space to practice new skills in a supportive environment.

Play therapy builds self-esteem, emotional understanding, and resilience, and can support reduction in maladaptive behaviours.

Sensorimotor Art Therapy

Art Therapy is the use of creating art and creative processes in a therapeutic setting to express feelings and explore experiences. The purpose is to provide a safe and supportive space to explore and engage in the creative process. It can help you to heal as it allows you to express yourself, focusing on your emotions.
