One of the key strengths of our clinic is words are just the icing on the cake. Whilst psychotherapy is often seen as 'talk therapy', with a skilled therapist you don't need verbal clarity. Rebecca is highly skilled in seeing, feeling and sensing with you and many clients appreciate the way she can help bring that verbal clarity to things that feel impossible to explain.

Rebecca is a self diagnosed neurodivergent person whose passion is working with late diagnosed adults, or adults who wonder if they are neurodivergent or 'is it something else?'.

Whilst a diagnosis may be useful in accessing support and understanding what is happening for you currently, many people receive a diagnosis and then struggle with 'but what do I need to do now?'. Diagnosis itself is not a solution to the problems that neurodivergent people face, and Rebecca specialises in the process of integrating this awareness into growing a life that allows you to be who you are in the world.

Rebecca has spent her career working with and training in trauma support, recovery and post-traumatic growth. Many trauma-informed coaching and therapy services do not truly understand the complex and multifaceted nature of working with trauma, meaning clients often end up in a holding pattern in their life coping to varying degrees, without thriving. In the Sanctum Clinic we have a multifaceted, individualised approach to working with you in your unique trauma process, allowing you to access your power, autonomy and confidence to be who you are in the world beyond coping.

Honestly, not always. Depending on your requirements sometimes physical connection is required. However, Rebecca has over a decade of experience working with people online with fantastic results and has developed techniques that bridge the distance in many instances. Rebecca has clients in the US, UK, Europe, South Africa, Canada, South America, Mexico and NZ, as well as across Australia. If you feel called to working with Rebecca we encourage you to try it and Rebecca will explore with you to see if online is going to work for your unique needs.

The Sanctum Clinic is a session by session service, meaning you always have power and autonomy over your process and can participate for as long as and at the pace that is right for you. No more getting trapped in contracts that add financial strain or fear of making a mistake. On average, our clients tend to come for fortnightly sessions for 3-12 months initially, and notice significant shifts in themselves and their lives within the first month. Our goal is always to graduate you from therapy into being a powerful individual with many skills to support yourself.

Every 60 minute session looks different. Rebecca does not work with a set methodology, drawing from many evidence based practices and different techniques (all in consultation with your desires for our time together). Sometimes in session there is a lot of discussion, sometimes not. We may explore things on a whiteboard together, we may sit and feel things in our bodies together. It is a very creative process, all designed to achieve your intention for the session.

Generally, any follow up from last session will happen first, then we will explore an intention for this session together and Rebecca will facilitate a process with you to achieve that. In the final 15 minutes we will review and identify what is most supportive for you to focus on between now and the next session, to support your longer term growth.

You are welcome to bring items to session that make you feel comfortable, such as fidgets, blankets, drinks or a journal. Rebecca almost always has a hot drink in hand! There is no need to dress up or be any particular way. If you are online please make sure you are somewhere you feel is private and be able to focus (i.e not driving). It is your choice if your children are present or not, however please be aware that with children present we will be ensuring their wellbeing as well as your own and this can impact how we explore some things and the time available to us.
