SESSIONS
Appointments are one hour and are available in person at Palm Beach or online for individual and couples counselling.
Early morning and evening appointments may be available online upon request.
Whatever you choose to bring to the session is welcome. This is your session, and there is no right or wrong place to begin or set formula to follow. You will be supported and gently guided through whatever issues arise, with space to explore what is happening for you, gain clarity, and develop a more balanced perspective on yourself, your relationships and your life.
It is also important to recognise that much of the work of therapy continues between sessions. This is often where insight, self-awareness and new tools begin to be put into action and embodied in everyday life. Over time, you may notice meaningful shifts not only within the session, but in how you respond, relate and move through life between appointments.
Sessions with Rebecca include many different presenting issues including:
