Testimonials

What Clients Say

"I felt very comfortable and safe with Bec. I found that she explained things so well and was relatable.

After my 3 sessions with Bec I always walked out feeling a big shift and so positive. I have been using some of the NLP techniques in my day to day life and it's working so well."

As an Intuitive Counselor, I specialise in helping families reconnect — guiding children, teens, and parents to understand each other better, communicate more effectively, and navigate life’s pressures with confidence and compassion.

I work with families to:
• Build emotional resilience in youth
• Heal communication breakdowns between parents and children
• Address behavioral and emotional imbalances
• Reconnect families on a deeper level.

Today’s world demands more of us than ever before — but you don’t have to face it alone. I’m here to support your journey, intuitively and practically, with heart-centered guidance tailored to your unique family dynamic.

If you’re ready to strengthen your family bond and create a more peaceful home, I’d love to connect. #intuitivecounsellor #buildbetterfamilies #resilience #connectionmatters

Awareness and accountability are so powerful in building strong relationships with yourself and others. Own it👌🏼 #counsellingskills

I’m curious, could you answer this question, Who are you? We often answer with, I’m a … mum, dad, nurse, tradie, consultant, etc etc. We answer with what we do, our occupation, our roles. Have you ever spent any time thinking about what makes up you as a person inside? My Values and Beliefs Workshop will help you understand this question and give you tools to get clarity around who you are. Curious? Jump on and book a seat in my relaxed yet insightful workshops where I help you navigate these hard questions. #valuesmatter #counsellor #connectionmatters

Approach growth from the simplicity of the two C’s… ✨Curiosity then ✨Courage 🫶🏻

We all have different filters that distort the way we see and interpret the world around us. Our values and beliefs play a profound role in what we filter in and filter out… get curious around your own beliefs and take time to work out your values. It changes everything ✨

We have all heard the Tony Robbin’s quote “where focus goes, energy flows” the question is, do you ever stop and actually notice what you are focusing on? Or is your auto pilot, unconscious mind in the drivers seat? There are ways to understand your unconscious mind and its complexity. Higher Beings Better Communication online workshop is a great place to start… check out link in bio ✨ #unconsciousmind #effectivecommunication

So inspired by my studies of clinical hypnosis at the moment. A modality I am so aligned with and one I look forward to offering clients. Clinical hypnosis therapy is an effective way to connect to your inner world and embed positive, lasting change.

How well do you listen? How well do you articulate your words? How do your beliefs play a part in your communication with others? The art of effective communication is everything in building good relationships. At the moment I’m studying a topic - Support people in improving relationships. This has highlighted my own challenges and brought awareness to how vital good communication is for relationships. Check out link in bio for my online Better Communication workshop for support and education around this essential skill.

I read this in my counselling studies and realised how far we still need to come to normalise reaching out for help with our mental health and wellbeing… do we prioritise our mental health like we should?

Years ago in my search for self betterment, self love and self acceptance I always came across these words- “Do the work” I was often left feeling confused and frustrated, asking myself, what is the work?

I have since found the answers to these questions, which has lead me to share the knowledge whilst continuing to keep asking questions, seeking answers to bring more fulfillment and meaning to my life. Start doing the work… I promise you, once you know what your work is, you’ll never look back. Enrol in my workshop in the link in bio 🙏 #selfbetterment #dothework

A different post than usual but a special one to draw attention to the incredible work @jdt_training are doing around men’s and boys health. Matt and Joey are both a part of these programs, and as I wife, mother and now training in the mental health space, I am so grateful they are involved in this movement @jdt_training to empower boys and men to be strong in their minds, not just in their bodies. Most importantly providing a safe space for them to connect and be vulnerable. Programs like these are exactly what is needed in our community to support and guide healthy, resilient men 🙏 thank you @coach_jdt

This to me is the definition of self growth. Be curious instead of critical with yourself, and see where that leads…✨

This quote really embodies a lot of my learning in NLP and is a strong theme in my communication workshop. Understanding yourself better is the foundation of understanding others. #bettercommunication #nlppractitioner #selfbetterment

So grateful for @teodora_tinc for making me feel comfortable and relaxed, as I was seriously peaking about being in front of the camera… it was such a privilege to meet you and have some deep and meaningful conversation whilst you snapped away 🙏 looking forward to sharing what I’ve been working on with you all very soon. #nlppractitioner #selfgrowth #bettercommunication

My name is Bec from Higher Being, I have resisted introducing myself personally for a little while now, as my purpose is not at all to promote myself, but to ignite a spark inside those of you I reach, a spark of curiosity and willingness to strive for something more.
As a wife and mother of three, a daughter, sister, and friend, my life is rich with love, connection, and a deep sense of responsibility to those I care about. Amidst these roles, I have embarked on a new journey, a purpose driven by a profound passion to help others realise and love their true selves.

Each day, I strive to integrate the intuitive wisdom gained from my personal experiences as a wife, mother, and member of a beautiful community, as well as my learned knowledge as a practitioner of NLP and student of counseling into my practice, creating a compassionate and nurturing space where individuals can feel safe to explore, grow, and flourish.

Embracing my imperfections and vulnerabilities continues to be a challenge, but this is where I realised the magic is. Where we can have genuine and authentic connections with those we care about.

I feel privileged to walk alongside those who choose to work with me, guiding them towards a path of self-discovery and fulfillment 🫶🏻

Un-becoming and un-packing all the things that don’t serve you in your life anymore is the perfect place to start. #selfgtowth #nlp #nlptoolsandtechniques

Just noticing when your ego is taking over your thoughts is a step towards awareness of self. Striving towards a higher being is a journey worth taking, though a journey you don’t have to take alone. Reach out or explore higherbeing.com.au #nlppractitioner #selfawareness #nlptoolsandtechniques

Thank you to the wonderful men who attended my workshop on Monday! I’m so grateful for receiving valuable feedback and encouraging testimonials. I will continue to strive for better communication as my passion grows ✨🙏 #nlppractitioner #bettercommunication #nlptoolsandtechniques #selfgrowth #mensmentalhealth

Understanding that we have a choice in how we react or respond to our environment is the greatest lesson. But how? Reach out and connect for more info. #nlppractitioner #nlptoolsandtechniques

It was a privilege to present my Better Communication workshop to my first group of men last night, who not only showed up for me but showed up for themselves. They were engaged and curious to learn new tools to help them better themselves. Congratulations to those legends whom I know are not afraid of doing ‘the work’ 🙌 #nlppractitioner #nlptechniques #selfbetterment

Sometimes the hardest part is knowing where to start. Let me help you shine awareness on where it is you need to grow ✨ #nlppractitioner #selfgrowth #nlptoolsandtechniques

Patience is a struggle for a lot of people. Including me. This quote instantly made me reflect on my behaviour when I am not getting what I want when I want it… What are your thoughts and feelings around being patient? #nlppractitioner #selfgrowth

So much gratitude for being able to share my knowledge and insights with amazing humans who are ready to show up for themselves, and in turn show up for the people they love. #nlppractitioner #selfgrowth #bettercommunication

I feel so much joy in sharing my knowledge and purpose with curious, open minded people ready to learn and continue growing ✨🫶🏻 #nlppractitioner #selfgrowth #growthworkshops
