+ 1 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

WHY HYPNOTHERAPY?
In the state of hypnosis, we can work directly with the subconscious mind bypassing the conscious, critical thinking mind and get those positive suggestions, thoughts and imagery where they need to be, to create lasting change. It’s our conscious mind that creates barriers to our healing, so we need to access that deeper part of our mind for true benefit.
Often my clients have been seeing psychologists and other mental health professionals for years with no real impact so decide to give hypnotherapy a go. They are often surprised when they experience very quick breakthroughs and realizations from their issues and are able to move forward positively with their lives free from the restriction of stress and anxiety.
This is because in hypnosis, we work with the WHOLE MIND. We can talk directly with the subconscious mind and get to all those core beliefs, habits, patterns and hidden blocks that are keeping us stuck in the past. Once these are bought to the awareness of the conscious mind, then true change can happen.
I use an intuitive mix of NLP, hypnotherapy, psychotherapy, theta healing, tapping and EMDR in the sessions. Standard counselling sessions are also available for those that just need to talk through some things and gain some clarity about their life.
Suite 3/ 19 Short St Southport QLD and I also offer online appointments via Telehealth.

+ 1 moreWinner of the Quality Business Awards 2025 for Best Hypnotherapy in the Mornington Peninsular Shire due to rating #1 on service, satisfaction, reputation and quality with 5 star ratings from happy clients. Fresh Start Hypnotherapy achieved results in stress management, anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, relaxation, sleep disorders, pain management, confidence, relationships, addictions eg alcohol, smoking and weight loss. SMS for a quick response.
Research shows hypnotherapy has a proven 93 % success rate over a course of 6 sessions according to the American Health organization. However some hypnotherapy clients of mine have only needed 1 or 2 sessions to reach their goal.
Each session begins with counselling & involves lifecoaching to achieve goals & transformation.
For Children & Families :
As a professional accredited SleepTalk® consultant, I teach parents to effectively use the SleepTalk® process which allows them to improve their children’s behaviours, attitudes and habits.
Some of the issues that I have successfully helped families with through SleepTalk® include sleeping disorders, anxiety, sibling rivalry, behaviours linked to Autism-ASD ADHD, confidence, agoraphobia, ODD, self harming, bedwetting, selective mutism, sensitivity to noise, ability to give and receive affection, social skills, academic performance, focus and concentration, fussy eating, aggressive & argumentative behaviour. The families have all improved their loving relationships and restored a sense of calm.
As an experienced teacher, I have been involved in teaching primary, secondary, and then adults at TAFE for the last 26 years. This has given me a great understanding of the needs and pressures that modern families are under in today’s stressful world. I enjoy helping families and children heal so they can learn and reach their full potential. I found Hypnotherapy and Sleep Talk ® to help my own family and myself and I found it to be the quickest, easiest and most time and cost efficient solution.

FAQs

Clients who obtain a Mental Health Treatment Plan from their GP may be eligible for Medicare rebates when seeing a registered psychologist, which can reduce out-of-pocket costs.
