Rebecca Sooben
Provisional Psychologist
Hi, my name is Rebecca! I’m a Provisional Psychologist who works with neurodivergent adults using a very practical, solution focussed approach. One thing I truly believe is that dogs make people happy and that taking your dog to work with you would make the world a better place! I work with ADHD and Autistic adults to help them learn ways to cope with the demands of work, parenting and juggling life in general!
Here are some things that make me 'me'

More about Rebecca
Home state: NSW
My eye sparkles and SpIns (special interests) include:
-
Being a fur parent to two sweet, fluffy balls of chaos - I would love to learn more about pet therapy!
-
Watching my daughters grow up and become their own (little) people.
-
All aspects of psychology, particularly positive psychology - how to make meaning and find purpose in life.
-
Nature energises me - I love seeing, being in and smelling the ocean - it is my happy place.
-
I love looking at natural landscapes and taking endless photos of familiar places or new ones I've explored.
-
The complexities of social and romantic relationships, I have enjoyed learning about how attachment styles, love languages and personality traits influence us and how we connect with other people.

Appointments
-
Rebecca works with us on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays.​
-
Rebecca's therapy wait list is estimated to be around 1 to 2 weeks. This is only a rough estimate, as our waitlists can be quite fluid, and sometimes there is movement, which means we might have unexpected appointments that pop up earlier than this. ​
-
While you are waiting, we encourage you to ask us to put you on Rebecca's 'cancellation list' so we can contact you if there are any cancelled appointments we need to fill. This can help us get you into the earliest possible appointment.
