People may seek therapy when the impact of life’s demands, past experiences, or protective patterns starts to exceed capacity, and that strain shows up as disconnection—potentially from purpose, from the body, or from relationships. You may be carrying the effects of painful or overwhelming experiences that still shape how you feel and relate today. Reaching out is a significant step, and you don’t have to work out the next ones alone. I offer compassionate, collaborative therapy informed by years of clinical experience, extensive training, and my work as a facilitator and trainer with the Blue Knot Foundation.

Psychologist, PsyBA - Clin. Psych
Noosaville, QLD 4566
Often in today's world, we get caught up in so many distractions on the outside that we are not always aware of our internal experiences. We walk around anxious and depressed, with critical thoughts of ourselves and others, and often live a reality that is separate from our own personal wishes and desires. I believe that therapy provides a safe space to step away from all the external distractions and focus on identifying and responding to our emotional world in the most open and connected way, which may have been too painful to do in the past.

What we label as harsh self-criticism, addiction, perfectionism, depression, mood disorders, or anxiety can be understood in a different light. These aren't signs of weakness or flaws. Rather: protective patterns. They reflect the mind’s effort to cope, to endure, and to keep going under strain. Trauma is not always a single, defining event. More often, it is shaped slowly through repeated experiences of overwhelm and a lack of control. It can grow in environments where love felt uncertain, criticism was frequent, expectations were high, or where caregivers were struggling themselves. I help people who carry similar patterns.

My main focus is helping my clients - through relationship with me - feel more connected to themselves and their lives, loved ones, friends and work. Together we explore present difficulties and discover patterns that may have been there for a long time. This gives access to personal growth and healing. Many of my clients have had psychiatric diagnosis; ASD L2, (C) PTSD, BPD, ADHD. I offer Medicare rebates (10 sessions) and Bulk-Bill (No Gap Fee) as I am committed to making quality therapy accessible to the whole local community. I do offer a telehealth option for sessions but prefer face-to-face when possible.

I have a holistic and trauma informed focus - and extensive experience in the treatment of anxiety, depression, personality disorders, PTSD, complex trauma and drugs & alcohol concerns.
I use mindfulness based cognitive behaviour therapy and have also found it hugely beneficial to tap into our somatic self - so my sessions are a blend of talk, somatic practice (learning more about your nervous system and ways to regulate in a way that is helpful to you) and learning new skills and strategies to increase capacity to manage life stressors.

I'm passionate about sharing experience and knowledge to help you understand your patterns, emotions and heal core wounds to return your sense of wholeness, innate personal power and Self-agency. Those treasures of 'Being' are yours already; vibrancy, clarity, courage, creativity, compassion, connectedness, curiosity and wise confidence. It's an empowering journey toward feeling at ease and safe in your being, your mind and emotions with an added dimension of spirituality and meaning for your life if that's for you. I know it's possible because I've taken the journey myself.

Hi, I'm Bec Stewart. Many people have shared with me that while traditional talk therapy can be helpful, it sometimes doesn’t bring about the deeper change or healing they’re hoping for. That’s why I'm passionate about a holistic, integrative approach, which gently supports you in going beyond surface-level solutions and exploring the roots of your challenges. (EMDR, DBR, parts-work, & somatic therapies ). I know this kind of therapy can take courage, but many find it opens the door to more meaningful, long-lasting change. It’s a privilege to walk alongside you on what could be a transformative journey.

Personality Disorders Therapists
What are the common treatment options for personality disorders?
Personality disorders are typically treated with psychotherapy, sometimes in conjunction with medication. Therapy can help people with personality disorders develop skills to tolerate difficult emotions, navigate interpersonal relationships, and solidify their sense of self. Medications can treat symptoms that co-occur with the disorder, such as depression, anger, aggression, and impulsivity.

When to seek treatment for personality disorders?
Even though treatment for personality disorders can be an uphill battle, it’s best to seek help if you suspect that you or a loved one is struggling with one, because personality disorders can create substantial problems in life. Symptoms depend on the specific disorder, but overall signs of personality disorders include consistent difficulty maintaining close relationships, dramatic variations in self-esteem, and an unstable sense of identity.

How long does therapy take for personality disorders?
The timeline for treating personality disorders isn’t as clear-cut as it is for other disorders. Change can be difficult, taking from around one year to five, 10, or more. The key is finding a therapist who has extensive experience treating the relevant disorder. For example, a psychologist who specialises in narcissistic personality disorder has specific communication strategies that allow them to sustain the relationship and be more effective with narcissistic patients.

Can therapy help people with personality disorders?
Research suggests that for those who are motivated to address concerns or interpersonal conflict related to a personality disorder, therapy is far more effective than no treatment, and that most people in therapy see improvements. However, since personality disorders involve entrenched elements of identity, they are less responsive to treatment than are other mental health conditions. Finding an expert who has extensive experience working with a given personality disorder is one factor that increases the likelihood of successful treatment.
