Virtual Sessions

Rebekah is currently accepting clients to her waitlist.

Practicum begins September 2025.

Hello there! I'm Rebekah (she/her), I identify as queer, cis gender, aceflux, COVID-19 conscious and I’m a proud member of the neurodivergent community. I’m passionate about creating safer and affirming spaces for everyone. I come from a background with European roots (Scottish, English, and Irish), and grew up in Treaty One Territory, in Winnipeg, Manitoba. For the past eight years, I've lived as a guest on the beautiful traditional lands of the Lekwungen-speaking peoples (The Songhees and Esquimalt) and the W̱SÁNEĆ nations, colonially referred to as Victoria. My dream has always been to live near the ocean, and I am so grateful to be able to visit the ocean every day.

With a deep passion for learning, I hold a BSc in Biology and have studied Environmental Studies, Women and Gender Studies, Disability Studies, and Psychology. In the fall, I will be entering my third year in the counselling program at City University in Victoria. Over the past 15 years, I have really enjoyed my work as a nanny for families and a support worker for neurodivergent kids. My work often draws on creativity, emotional expression, play and storytelling.

I am so excited to have my practicum with Expressive Wellness! My counselling practice is rooted in intersectional feminism, social justice, integrity, and collaboration. I believe that our personal experiences are political and I strive to empower my clients in navigating challenging systems. My approach is trauma-informed and integrates Narrative Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and expressive arts. You are the expert of your own journey, and I would feel honoured to work alongside you.

When I’m not working, I can be found journaling or colouring by the ocean, befriending trees, looking for slugs, or lying on the floor with my two bunny friends, Luna and Olive.
