With the start of a new year
often comes a renewed focus
on creating more moments of
joy and happiness. Achieving
this usually involves reducing
stress, anxiety and overwhelm.

coach, counsellor and author

specific career focus. Having battled
with insecurities, anxiety and panic
attacks, she knows firsthand the
challenges of an overwhelmed and
dysregulated nervous system.
“To feel like you’re battling your own
mind, or being betrayed by your body. I
understand the up-hill climb. I’ve been
there, in that place, of having daily
anxiety and feeling stuck on auto-pilot,”
she says.
Rebekah’s commitment to redefining
mental health has seen her train and
immerse in the mental health field since
2009, working across a wide range of
counselling and mental health roles;
