Rebecca Sheehy

Philosophy & Vision

I am a registered psychologist based in Spring Hill, Brisbane, with over 16 years of experience providing evidence-based psychological therapy to adults. I work with a broad range of presentations, including mood and anxiety disorders, eating disorders, complex trauma and interpersonal and relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, grief and loss, and work-related stress.

My therapeutic framework is primarily psychodynamic, with a strong emphasis on a consistent, collaborative, and attuned therapeutic relationship. I adopt an integrative approach, incorporating strategies from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), tailored to each patient’s clinical presentation, treatment goals, and readiness for change.

Background

My professional background includes more than a decade of experience within a private psychiatric hospital, where I worked across both inpatient and outpatient settings. I have also provided psychological therapy and support to adolescents and young adults through headspace, and have experience delivering drug and alcohol interventions in both adult inpatient and outpatient group therapy contexts. I am currently solely dedicated to my private practice, which I established in 2016.

I hold Master’s degrees in both Organisational Psychology and Clinical Psychology and am anticipated to achieve my endorsement as a Clinical Psychologist later this year. I offer Medicare rebates to patients who attend via a Mental Health Care Plan.
