EXPERIENCE

​

​

Rebecca has worked for more than a decade in New Zealand and Queensland school environments, first as a music teacher, and since 2014, has been a counsellor of students. Over this time she has developed knowledge of the educational systems in both countries to provide emotional support and guidance to adolescents and their parents. She has a Master of Counselling degree from the University of Auckland, New Zealand. She is a member of The Queensland Guidance and Counselling Association (QGCA) and a Level 4 Clinical Member of the Australian Counselling Association (ACA). 

​

She is interested in early childhood development and primary care-giver relationships, as the carer-to-child relationship can be the entry point for how children grow positive feelings towards themselves, and trust with their attachment figures (parents, friends, intimate partners) throughout the lifespan.

​

She has taught in higher education on courses such as educational studies, communication, counselling and psychotherapy theory and practice. She is developing a self-care course for teachers.
