Get to know Rebecca
Rebecca first developed an interest in Psychology during a speech made to her High School class on managing stress during the HSC. From then, she completed a Bachelor of Psychological Science with First Class Honours at Australian Catholic University and Master of Clinical Psychology at University of Technology Sydney. She is currently undertaking a PhD at Macquarie University focusing on schema therapy for pregnant women to enhance mother-infant bonding.
Throughout her studies, Rebecca has gained vast experience in delivering individual therapy, group therapy and cognitive assessments to individuals across the lifespan. This clinical work has taken Rebecca to work in private practices, hospitals and schools across Sydney. Rebecca utilises several evidence-based modalities including Schema Therapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT).
Outside of work, Rebecca enjoys spending quality time with family, friends and her beloved dog, Vinnie. Rebecca enjoys a balanced lifestyle - she is an avid pilates enthusiast, loves coastal walks, trying new restaurants or being entertained by a musical theatre production. When wanting to indulge in a guilty pleasure, she does not shy away from a reality show (or two).
Rebecca is registered as a Psychologist with Ahpra (Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency).
