Consultant Psychologist | Executive Coach| Leadership and Development Coach
Dr Bec Jackson’s middle name is literally “Joy” and she aspires to spread as much of it as possible by empowering her clients to live their best lives, with joy, purpose and meaning.
She uses the science of psychology in practical ways together with her lived organisational experience in the government and military sector, to support clients in increasing engagement and meaning in their personal and professional lives.
A demonstrated subject matter expert on professional leadership and development, a visiting fellow at the Australian War College, monthly contributor to The Leadership Review magazine, published author and speaker, Dr. Bec Jackson is highly regarded for her contributions in the fields of psychology, mental health, leadership and professional development.
From her meditation and psychology training and research she uses the science of well-being, research-based assessments and interventions to bring about greater fulfilment in the lives of those she coaches. Her extensive experience as a psychological clinician means she has a deep professional understanding of clients with co-morbid therapy needs and can provide advice and guidance on additional services that would benefit them outside the coaching space.

"‘As a person with 30 years of professional experience, and a recently qualified Executive Leadership Coach, my experience with Dr Bec was empowering. Her enthusiasm is contagious, and her experience as a psychologist provided a depth of understanding that explained why coaching techniques work, based on how different people think, and how they process emotions. I will be a better leader because of the experience, and it has significantly enhanced my knowledge and capability as a coach.’

“I was very fortunate to complete an executive coaching program led by Rebecca this year. She provided excellent insights and tools in helping develop my leadership, influence, and management skills, as well as ways to achieve a healthy balance between work and home. Rebecca has a strong understanding of the military leadership environment, but especially how you can be a more effective leader and manager in a non-military setting as well. I found the program extremely useful in understanding how to lead and influence across a broad range of staff and stakeholders, and how to help develop and maximise the strengths of my fantastic team.”
— Jason Blain, Senior Executive, Prime Minister and Cabinet
