+ 2 moreAre 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

Hi there, I'm Saba, a transpersonal therapy practitioner and life coach with a Master's of Scinece in Consciousness Spirituality and Transpersonal Psychology . My work is multi-modal and integrative, combining various therapeutic approaches to create a compassionate, tailored space where you can connect with yourself, facilitating healing, growth, and a deeper sense of well-being.
Through conscious and compassionate self-exploration, we can uncover a clearer understanding of who we are. Whether you’re processing unresolved experiences from the past or managing intense emotions about the future, therapy and coaching can help you discover the inner resources needed to navigate life’s challenges, physically, mentally, emotionally, and in connection with others and the world around you.
This process nurtures lasting change, fostering balance, harmony, and a deeper sense of self-leadership in all aspects of life. It’s a gentle and rewarding journey of transformation and growth.
I look forward to holding this space with you.

+ 8 moreSomething isn't working, and it's likely been repeating for a while. I work with individuals and couples experiencing conflict, disconnection, or patterns that don't seem to shift, no matter how many times you've tried to talk it through.
Rather than focusing on surface issues, we look at what's actually happening beneath them, and begin building new ways of responding, together, in the moment.
Sessions are available online across Australia, with in-person options near Byron Bay for those who prefer face-to-face support.
The first step is a short 15-minute call. We'll talk through what's going on, and I'll guide you on what would genuinely help.

+ 9 moreI provide online counselling and telehealth therapy for individuals and couples across Australia.
This service offers a gentle grounding space to pause, reflect, and gain clarity —where challenges feel less overwhelming, new possibilities emerge, and the energy to move forward begins to grow.
Our work together starts with truly understanding you: your story, your needs, your struggles, your hopes, and your dreams—as well as the barriers that may be preventing you from living the life you want or becoming the person you wish to be.
I draw on a range of strengths-based, evidence-informed, and creative approaches, including Internal Family Systems, CBT-informed strategies, ACT principles, and person-centred counselling. These approaches help refresh old patterns, spark new perspectives, and gently open doors to change.
This is a place of Becoming - whole, strong and authentically you.

FAQs
Individual counselling in Sydney generally ranges from $150 to $280 per session, reflecting the city's higher cost of living and the depth of experience among many practitioners in areas like Surry Hills, Newtown, and Glebe. Fees depend on the counsellor's qualifications, the length of sessions, and the type of therapy offered. Clients who obtain a Mental Health Treatment Plan from their GP are eligible for Medicare rebates of up to $141.85 per session when seeing a registered psychologist, which can bring out-of-pocket costs down considerably. For counsellors outside the Medicare system, private health insurance may offer partial coverage depending on your level of cover.
