Support tailored to your circumstances
Therapy & Mental Health
A compassionate, trauma-informed space for adults experiencing the impacts of trauma, PTSD, anxiety, occupational stress, grief, life transitions and other significant life experiences.
Rebecca works collaboratively with you at a pace that feels safe and manageable. Therapy can help you understand what you are experiencing, develop practical strategies, and reconnect with your strengths, values and sense of possibility.
Clinical Supervision
Reflective, trauma-informed clinical supervision for mental health and human services practitioners.
Supervision provides space to think carefully about your work, clinical decisions, professional identity, boundaries, the impact of trauma exposure, and your own wellbeing as a practitioner.
Training & Consultancy
Practical, thoughtful training and consultation for organisations seeking to strengthen trauma-informed practice, psychological safety and responses to sexual violence, consent and workplace wellbeing.
Programs can be tailored to your team, setting and objectives.
An approach grounded in safety and collaboration
At the heart of Rebecca’s work is the belief that you are the expert in your own life and professional context.
Her approach is trauma-informed, strengths-based and evidence-informed. It recognises that responses to overwhelming experiences are understandable, and that healing does not follow one set path. Rebecca works with curiosity, compassion and practical care—always guided by what feels most useful and supportive for you.
Experience that understands complex environments
Rebecca brings experience supporting people affected by trauma, including current and former police members, ADF communities, and victim-survivors of crime and violence.
She understands that trauma can affect relationships, work, identity, physical wellbeing and a sense of safety. Her work makes room for the complexity of these experiences without requiring you to explain or justify every part of your story.
