RM Sheehy Psychology

My name is Rebecca Sheehy and I am a Psychologist specialising in Clinical and Occupational Psychology working in Brisbane, Australia. I have a special interest in working with people who experience stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, low motivation, irregular eating patterns, interpersonal conflict or relationship problems, loss or grief and work-related stress.

I strongly believe that each person has an important story to tell, which is to be heard, validated and explored. I understand how emotionally painful and stressful it may be, for individuals to disclose such emotions or experiences, that they have endured. With this in mind, I tailor therapy to fit individual circumstances at a pace that suits them. I place importance on providing a safe and supportive environment for people to reflect and share their life experiences with me, to identify their strengths and challenges and to assist them in creating positive life changes.

I use a client-centered approach to my work and draw on a number of different evidence based treatment modalities including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Schema Therapy and Psychodynamic ideas.

Furthermore, I specialise in Occupational Psychology, which is the science and practices of returning injured workers to a level of work activity that is appropriate to their functional and cognitive capacity, both of which are influenced by the severity of a worker?s injuries. I work with the injured worker to help them return to their pre-injury duties in a safe and timely manner. I provide the following services: Comprehensive clinical and vocational assessments, clinical and adjustment to injury counselling, mediation, informative workshops on managing stress, depression and anxiety and exit interview support.
