Rebecca R. Email and Phone Number

With nearly a decade of experience in Private Counselling, I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals through various challenges and life transitions. I work with Individuals with various life challenges, couples as they work through the complexities in the marriage, family or relationships, adolescents as they face the social media age they live it with its pressures and school issues, young adults in life transitions, children and parent support. I have also completed training in Grief work. My journey in mental health care also includes a tenure as a School Counsellor (K to 12), where I’ve worked closely with students and their families, high risk students, risk managing, risk management plans, disclosures, psycho education and general counselling.My educational background includes a Graduate Diploma in Counselling and Integrated Psychotherapy from the Australian Institute of Family Counselling (AIFC) after completing my Advanced Diploma and Grad Cert with them. I gained deep insights into individual and family dynamics through the study. I’m also registered with PACFA and a Clinical member with CCAA in Australia. In addition to my counselling work, I’ve been involved in Chaplaincy. The training provided me with a framework in counselling that is robust yet flexible enough to integrate with other counselling modalities. I completed my Masters in Accounting and Commerce and worked as a Self Managed Super Fund Accountant prior to my counselling journey. We do run an import/export business as a family. As a migrant I bring a personal experience to my counselling role, particularly when working with diverse communities/migrants. I have my aging parents staying with me as my mum is in the advanced stage of dementia so understand being a caregiver. These life experiences have profoundly shaped my counselling approach, blending empathy, compassion and understanding grief with professional expertise.I currently serve as a Board Member of a Not for Profit organisation in Perth helping young mums and their partners with pre/post baby care. I did volunteer my time with the same organisation as a counsellor for a few years as well and it was a very rewarding experience. Currently, I’m preparing to start a Master’s in Counselling in 2025 and am pursuing a Training and Assessment Certificate to further enhance my skills. Regular Supervision with experienced professionals helps me stay grounded and effective in my work. My goal is to provide compassionate, personalized support, drawing from both my professional background and my personal journey.
