Rebecca Rylands

Rebecca Rylands is a highly accomplished counsellor with many years of experience supporting clients presenting with a wide range of concerns. She is a registered member of the Australian Counselling Association and has worked extensively with children, adolescents, adults, and parents, alongside her work as an educator and facilitator in mental health and wellbeing.

Rebecca is known for her grounded and practical approach. She is outcome-focused, yet deeply attuned to each client’s pace, needs, and lived experience. Her counselling style blends professional clarity with genuine connection, creating a space where clients feel heard, respected and empowered. Rebecca views counselling as an opportunity to explore what sits beneath life’s challenges, make meaning from experience, and develop strategies that support growth and wellbeing. Her clients therefore often describe feeling seen, heard, supported, and more equipped to navigate their emotional worlds with confidence and compassion.

In her practice, Rebecca tailors each session to meet the unique therapeutic needs of the individual. She draws from a wide range of contemporary, client-centred approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Mindfulness-based practices, Expressive Therapies, and Somatic approaches. Rebecca believes counselling is a powerful and restorative experience and enjoys supporting clients in creating meaningful change, renewed clarity, and a stronger sense of self.
