About Rebecca
I'm Rebecca, the founder and therapist behind Sage Avenue Therapy. I hold a Graduate Diploma in Counselling from the University of New England, following an earlier Biomedical Science degree from the University of Technology Sydney. My approach is calm, thoughtful, and centred on creating a space where clients feel genuinely safe and understood. Drawing on both lived experience and evidence‑informed therapeutic methods, the work is grounded, effective, and tailored to each person’s needs
Why a Therapist?
A therapist offers something distinct — a steady, professional, and compassionate third party who isn’t part of your personal story. This emotional neutrality allows the focus to remain fully on you, giving you space to explore your experiences and life challenges without expectation or judgement.
Starting Therapy
Beginning therapy can feel uncertain, especially if you’re unsure what to expect or whether it will offer what you’re seeking. Research consistently shows that the strongest therapeutic outcomes occur when you feel safe, supported, and genuinely understood within the therapeutic relationship. In that kind of space, you’re able to explore your inner world more deeply.
Finding the right therapist is the most important part of the process! To help you get a sense of whether this space feels right for you, I offer a free 15‑minute phone conversation — a simple, pressure‑free way to connect, ask questions, and see if working together feels aligned.
Telehealth
Telehealth sessions allow you to access mental health support from the comfort of your own space. I offer flexible weekend and after‑hours sessions, allowing counselling to fit effortlessly into your life as a discreet and intentional part of your self‑care, without needing to navigate work schedules or other daytime commitments.
Counselling vs Psychology services
A counsellor listens deeply, reflects with you, and provides evidence‑based strategies that foster clarity, resilience, and personal growth. Counselling is ideal for those seeking a safe space to talk and reflect, while psychology is typically focused on assessment and treatment of specific mental health conditions and diagnoses.
