Becca Gillen

I’m a nurse and integrative practitioner specialising in cognitive-behavioural approaches (CBT & ACT), breathwork, mindfulness, and nervous system regulation. My work brings together top-down psychological methods and bottom-up, body-based practices to address both the cognitive and somatic roots of stress, anxiety, and behavioural patterns.

Nervous system regulation isn’t just about breathing exercises or feeling relaxed in the moment. A significant part of dysregulation is driven by our thought patterns, beliefs, emotional processing, and internal narratives. Without addressing how the mind interprets and responds to stress, body-based practices alone can become temporary relief rather than lasting change.

My approach integrates evidence-based psychological frameworks with embodied practices to help clients build awareness of how their thoughts, emotions, and physiological responses interact. By learning how to work with both the mind and the body, clients can begin to rewire long-standing patterns, regulate emotional responses, and create meaningful change in how they experience themselves and the world around them.

With a background in nursing, I bring a holistic, systems-based perspective to coaching and wellbeing. I’m particularly passionate about preventative health and longevity, and about helping individuals improve their health span—not just by reducing symptoms, but by developing skills for self-awareness, emotional regulation, cognitive flexibility, and nervous system resilience.

My work supports clients in understanding the deeper drivers of stress and behaviour, empowering them with practical tools to shift internal patterns that influence stress hormones, health outcomes, and overall quality of life.
