Meet Senior Registered Psychologist, Rebecca Confoy (she/ her)

Bec sees adults, children from 12yrs, and their families or support people
Rebecca Confoy, Registered Psychologist

Rebecca is a Psychologist with over 20 years of experience working in various mental health settings.  Graduating from Deakin University with a Graduate Diploma in Psychology, which followed a Bachelor of Social Science (Psychology and Sociology majors) at Swinburne University in Victoria, Rebecca feels deeply held gratitude for her career journey.  Wisdom from client lived experiences has taught Rebecca a great deal and it is a privilege to have been able to share those many moments in time.

Rebecca commenced her career working in psychiatric rehabilitation in metro, regional and rural parts of Victoria, doing group therapy work and home based outreach programs.  It was here that person-centred approaches and strength-based models caught her attention as especially valuable in recovery from serious mental illness.

Rebecca then went on to work in community health settings, providing psychological therapy to treat problem gambling and other compulsive behaviours challenges. After relocating from the city to a quiet coastal town, Rebecca started working exclusively with young people, providing psychological therapy to individuals, and their families, experiencing a wide range of mental health difficulties.  It was here that Rebecca spent many years in-reaching to local secondary schools students and collaborating with GPs and nurses in purpose built Doctor Clinics in some especially selected schools.

Being part of the school communities was a thoroughly enjoyable chapter in her career.  One of the things it revealed to Rebecca was the way in which food and eating can mean different things to young people, and it has been satisfying to help young people see the distinctive link between food and mood.  Rebecca has experience working with eating disorders, managing the clinical care component and collaborating with treatment teams to optimise health outcomes.

These days Rebecca continues to share the message of 'health at every size' in her work supervising other mental health practitioners, in both community health and private practice. She loves the idea of spreading her joy to other parts of Australia and looks forward to making new connections, and learning more stories of personal growth and resilience through Liberation Clinic.

Rebecca is inspired by traditional ways of 'being' and enjoys restorative yoga practices throughout the week, along with running with her dog through the tea-tree nestled behind a long stretch of ocean beach.  When her kelpie 'Possum' frantically chases the waves but can never quite catch them, this makes her smile. So too does going home to see the cat 'Poh', stretched out and sleeping soundly in the dog's bed. There are often debates in her home with her teen children over which is better, cats or dogs, of course this is only ever whispered softly, well out of range from Poss and Poh.

Client concerns Bec can help with, from 12yrs:

  • Supporting teens with school refusal
  • Depression, Anxiety and OCD
  • Affirming support and coping skills for people with Neurodivergent identities, including Autism and ADHD
  • Gender dysphoria and exploring gender identity
  • Supporting those who've experienced trauma
  • Supporting youth and adults with life transitions
  • Parenting challenges
  • And of course, eating disorders, sub-clinical disordered eating (meaning, your symptoms might not neatly fit into a diagnostic box- many don't!), and body dysmorphia or poor body image

*Please note that Rebecca provides consultations via videoconference only, for clients anywhere in Australia.

Making the decision to seek therapy is a brave one, often accompanied by a variety of emotions- fear, excitement, ambivalence, hope. These are all normal when choosing to seek support, and I am honored to be a part of your journey.
Though I am most passionate about treating eating disorders, I bring a wide range of experience to my practice, including individual and group work. I have worked with both adults and youth in residential treatment settings with eating disorders, depression, anxiety, and trauma. I have significant experience working with high school students navigating a variety of issues including eating disorders, body image, ADHD, depression, sexual abuse, and juvenile diversion programs. I am committed to providing an inclusive, safe, and affirming space for individuals from diverse backgrounds, including LGBTQI+ communities, different neurotypes, and various cultural identities.
How I work:
In our sessions I can mix and match a variety of therapeutic approaches to suit your needs and preferences, including Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems, Attachment Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. I deeply respect the privilege of hearing your story, and am committed to creating a compassionate space for you to show up whatever stage you may be on your journey.
Education and Qualifications: 
I completed my training in the United States and received a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from San Diego State University. I received a Master of Arts in Clinical Counselling Psychology from Sonoma State University.
Note- Although Jess is in the 5th year of her mental health career, having recently relocated to Australia, she is required to complete about a year of work as a 'Provisional' Psychologist. This means that Jess' services are not currently eligible for a Medicare rebate.  However, we have set her fee at a rate lower than the gap fee for our usual psychology services.
We're so pleased to be able to offer lower cost therapy with an experienced and skilled provider!
