Many of the women I work with are feeling stressed, anxious, and tend to live in their heads with a strong inner critic.
Life can be hard at times, and when we meet the messy moments it can feel isolating, overwhelming, and hopeless. We are human, after all. It makes sense that we may find ourselves stuck at times - stuck in our feelings, thoughts, and behaviours and it can be tough to shift things in the right direction, especially if we are doing it on our own. With honesty and compassion, therapy is a place to explore what you're navigating and create sustainable change that supports your healing and growth. I support women who are wanting to shift out of survival mode so they can feel grounded, confident, and free.

I have specialist training in treating PTSD/C-PTSD, and anxiety-related issues, but work with a range of mental health issues.
Hi, I'm Bec Stewart. Many people express that while traditional talk therapy is supportive, it often doesn't lead to the change they truly desire. This is why I’m passionate about holistic therapy and mental health approaches that go beyond surface-level solutions by addressing issues at their roots (EMDR, parts-work, & somatic therapies ). It takes courage and effort, but I believe it offers the potential for true transformation.
