Hi, I am Rebecca Himel and I look forward to meeting you. Whether your journey has brought you to a difficult patch or you are navigating calm waters, I am happy to be of support on your way. My counselling area of focus is in working with neurodivergent individuals facing challenges related to anxiety, depression, relationships, trauma, complex trauma, burnout, ADHD, rejection sensitivity, autism, sensory sensitivity, pathological demand avoidance (PDA), AuDHD, highly sensitive person (HSP), executive functioning, emotional regulation, eating difficulties, late-identified neurodivergence, neurodivergent-questioning, and spiritual trauma.
I primarily work through an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) lens and include elements from Narrative Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS “parts work”), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I also incorporate somatic techniques to calm the nervous system. Your feedback is welcome as in our working together, which will help me to tailor my approach to be most supportive to you.
