Rebecca is a local psychologist and Doctor of Psychology candidate. She has a strong interest in and published research on perinatal anxiety and mental health. Holding First Class Honours in psychology, she is dedicated to delivering evidence-based care.
Rebecca has experience working across various settings including private practice, hospital, community, and schools, supporting individuals facing anxiety, ADHD, stress and burnout, trauma-related difficulties, mood disorders, and adjustment challenges. Her approach is collaborative, warm, and formulation-driven, incorporating evidence-based interventions such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), along with mindfulness and self-compassion-informed strategies.
In addition to her psychology training, Rebecca holds a Master of International Trade & Commerce Law and a Bachelor of Commerce. This multidisciplinary background enhances her nuanced understanding of complex systems, ethical decision-making, and the organisational environments that can impact mental health and wellbeing.
Before formally pursuing her passion for psychology, Rebecca founded and led a technology startup and held senior corporate leadership roles. These experiences have shaped her understanding of high-pressure environments and the challenges of managing multiple life domains. Moreover, as a former high-performance athlete, she brings lived experience that informs her understanding of high-performance cultures, identity development, life transitions, and the psychological demands of balancing sport, career, personal, and family life.
