I support clients moving through midlife and older age who are navigating depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, burnout, or unexpected major life transitions, and they're wondering what comes next. Clients reach out for many reasons: a career that no longer fits, caring for family member living with dementia, adjusting to retirement, processing loss, or feeling stuck and ready for something different. I help clients make sense of what they're going through, challenge limiting stories, and explore clearer purpose and direction. Together, we explore what this chapter of life is asking, and what it might still offer.

Rebecca Pettinato
Psychologist, PsyBA General
Windsor, VIC 3181
I know how challenging it can be to reach out for support, but taking the first step towards improving your mental health can be a catalyst for change. I want to help you make positive changes that make your life feel rich and meaningful; helping you live a life that feels authentic and aligns with your values and who you want to be. Together we can explore and work through issues relating to anxiety, depression, ADHD (and diagnosis), rumination, struggles with life transitions, work stress, study stress, relationship issues, loss of direction, uncertainty about careers or life trajectories, and addiction (such as gambling).

Psychologist, PhD, PsyBA - Clin. Psych

They may experience anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, trauma, relationship difficulties, or a sense of being stuck or worn down by ongoing symptoms. Many want clarity, stability, and a way to live more meaningfully alongside distress, rather than feeling defined or controlled by it. Sessions are $250, with a Medicare rebate of approximately $149.05 available for those with a Mental Health Care Plan, making the out-of-pocket cost around $100.95 per session.
