I welcome clients from all backgrounds, including the LGBTQ+ community, and offer a confidential space where you are met with respect and understanding.
Hi, my name is Rebecca, and I am a fully qualified, pre-accredited psychotherapist. I work with individuals who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck—whether due to depression, trauma, addiction, chronic stress, or the weight of complex relationships. Many of the people I support are navigating family estrangement, no-contact or low-contact dynamics, and the grief, confusion, and emotional pain that can accompany those decisions. Together, we create space to process these experiences, helping you find clarity, steadiness, and relief.

I am openly queer and neurodivergent with lived experience of many of the barriers our communities face.

Here you can find a sounding board, understanding, compassionate challenging, problem-solving tools, and additional resources.

As a psychotherapist, I can work with a client who is seeking personal growth and emotional healing. They may struggle with issues like anxiety, depression, or unresolved trauma, but they have a deep desire for self-awareness and positive change. Their needs include emotional safety, support, and tools to navigate their challenges. Their goals often centre around finding balance, improving their relationships, and building resilience. They want to understand themselves better and develop coping strategies to lead a more fulfilling life, motivated by the desire to break free from patterns that no longer serve them.

I work empathically with my clients. Sessions are completely confidential. I work very well with clients who suffer from anxiety and depression. My speciality is my inner child work. This is a very powerful therapy. I can bring the client back in a safe way to a traumatic experience. Sometimes, I will combine this therapy with music. The client may experience the trauma through feelings in the body, this therapy answers for the client why they feel the way they do in their body. By unlocking those feelings healing may begin. It can help a client to become more confident and as a result they begin to uncover their true self's.

I'm here to give you tools and resources to help you live better. As a licensed therapist, my job is to provide 2 services: Help you resolve an immediate problem, e.g., a relationship break-up or a life transition - such as becoming an expat. The second service - sometimes the more important service - is to help you learn how, what to do and why this challenge was presented to you. My job is to work myself out of a job because I helped you improve your like skill level and increased your knowledge of yourself.

Life can be difficult. The uncertainty of the future can be crippling. Feeling anxious, angry and depressed is normal but sometimes they take over and prevents us from living. I will work alongside clients and discuss their specific goals, needs and their issues.

Upon finishing college I thought of the many needa of potential clients. As a result of this I spent a year working in a drug & alcohol addiction centre. Gaining the experience & knowledge necessary to treat people during & after recovery for addiction. I soon discovered that regardless of the presenting issue most clients presented with having experienced some form of trauma. I then went on to study Traumatology & PTSD. Currently working in the therapeutic setting with families of those with disabilities.
