Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or caught in the same emotional patterns — even though you’re trying to move forward? You don’t have to keep figuring this out on your own. I work with people who are often high-functioning on the outside, but internally feel: • anxious or constantly overthinking • emotionally drained or reactive • stuck in relationship patterns • unsure how to break the cycle I’m Rebecca Small, a counsellor and psychotherapist, and I take a practical but deeper approach to therapy. That means we don’t just talk about what’s happening — we work to understand why it’s happening and give you tools to shift it. My work focuses on: • regulating your nervous system • identifying and rewiring core beliefs • improving communication and boundaries • helping you feel more grounded, confident, and in control I bring together a background in psychology, counselling, coaching, and health to support lasting, meaningful change — not just short-term relief. Together, we can work on: ✔ Anxiety, overthinking, and emotional overwhelm ✔ Relationship challenges and communication issues ✔ Trauma and unresolved emotional patterns ✔ Self-doubt, people-pleasing, and perfectionism ✔ Building confidence, boundaries, and self-trust ✔ Depression, stress, and feeling stuck I offer a space that is warm, grounded, and non-judgemental — but also focused and forward-moving. I will support you, but I will also gently guide and challenge you so you don’t stay stuck in the same loops. I currently have limited availability but always try to offer appointments within the same week. Sessions are $165 for 50 minutes via telehealth. The easiest next step is to book a short connection call so we can discuss what’s going on for you and see if we’re the right fit: https://calendly.com/rebeccasmall/connection-call

Personal support tailored to your situation

There are times when having space to talk openly can make a meaningful difference. Individual therapy and counselling provide one-to-one support to help you work through thoughts, emotions and personal challenges at your own pace.

Whether you’re dealing with stress, anxiety, life changes or simply looking for support and clarity, working with a therapist or counsellor can help you better understand your situation and develop ways to move forward.

1. Tell us what you’d like support with

Start by sharing what you’re looking for help with. Individual therapy and counselling can support areas such as:

  • Stress and anxiety
  • Confidence and self-esteem
  • Relationship or family concerns
  • Life transitions and change
  • Work-related pressures
  • General emotional wellbeing

You can also specify whether you prefer online or in-person sessions.

2. Compare therapists and counsellors

After submitting your request, you’ll hear from therapists and counsellors across Australia. You can review profiles, experience and areas of focus to find someone who feels suitable for your needs.

When considering professionals, it may help to look at:

  • Areas of experience or specialisation
  • Therapy or counselling approach
  • Session format and availability
  • Pricing and session structure
  • Communication style

Feeling comfortable with the person you choose is an important part of the process.

3. Work through things at your own pace

Once you’ve chosen a therapist or counsellor, sessions typically take place regularly based on your needs and availability.

Over time, therapy can help you gain perspective, develop coping strategies and feel more supported in managing challenges.

What individual therapy and counselling can help with

Therapy and counselling may support:

  • Managing stress and emotions
  • Building confidence and resilience
  • Navigating personal or professional changes
  • Understanding behaviour patterns
  • Improving communication and relationships

Different professionals may use different approaches depending on your goals.

What to expect from sessions

Ongoing sessions provide a confidential space to talk, reflect and explore different ways of approaching challenges.
