About rebecca fitzgerald

Mental health counsellor

Hello and welcome!

I’m so glad you’ve stopped by and are interested in learning more about working together. It’s a true privilege for me to combine my background in Social Work and Mental Health Counselling with a holistic approach to your well-being, addressing your mind, body, and spirit.

I’m here to walk alongside you as we navigate your challenges and work towards a meaningful, fulfilling, and purposeful life. My goal is to help you become your own life expert—empowered and nourished to live your best life.

Let’s embark on this journey together, fostering growth and resilience every step of the way!

All parts of our being are connected

I believe that all aspects of our being—mind, body, and spirit—are interconnected. When one part is out of alignment, it can significantly impact the others. For instance, if you’re feeling mentally drained, stressed, burnt out, or exhausted, these emotional and mental states can manifest physically.

Your body communicates with you through feelings and sensations, signaling when something isn’t right and when it’s time to slow down. However, we often ignore these signals, leading to physical symptoms like headaches, tension, cramps, back pain, tight shoulders, or even ulcers.

By recognizing and addressing these connections, we can better understand our overall well-being and take proactive steps toward achieving balance. Together, we can explore these interconnected aspects of your life, helping you to cultivate a healthier, more harmonious existence.

My healing approach

My approach to healing is well-rounded, holistic, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I am compassionate, caring, and dedicated to supporting you on your unique healing journey.

I love to integrate my extensive knowledge of mental health and allied health skills with alternative modalities to promote your overall well-being. Getting to know you and your story is essential to this process, as it allows us to work together in a way that is tailored specifically to your needs.

Through our collaboration, you will have the opportunity to experience genuine progress toward wellness. Together, we can create a supportive environment where you feel empowered to thrive. Let’s embark on this transformative journey toward healing and self-discovery!

Personal growth and development

Personal growth and development have shaped me into the person I am today. Like everyone, I’ve faced my own challenges, experiencing hurt and pain along the way. Overcoming these obstacles has made me stronger and more resilient, teaching me the importance of courage in letting go of situations that no longer serve me.

I hope that my life experiences—combined with my personal and professional knowledge, along with a spiritual perspective—can inspire and empower you to look within yourself. Together, we can explore your unique journey and work toward becoming the best version of yourself. Personal growth is a continuous process, and I’m here to support you every step of the way!
