Rebekah Volpe

Intake Coordinator & Social Worker

I'm a social worker with over 20 years of experience supporting people facing a wide range of challenges, including mental health, legal, housing, employment, trauma, and parenting issues. I've worked extensively with individuals from migrant and diverse backgrounds, including people who have arrived in Australia as refugees.

In my role as Intake Coordinator at Launch, I support new clients before their first appointment with one of our psychologists. I have a conversation with each person about their situation, help match them with the right psychologist, and share helpful resources they can explore in the meantime. If Launch isn't the right fit for their needs, I guide them toward other options that might be more suitable. Referrers are also welcome to get in touch with me directly to learn more about our service.

Outside of work, I enjoy staying active, spending time with my three children, and exploring new travel destinations.

Dr Daniela De Fazio

Director, Psychologist & Clinical Neuropsychologist

I'm passionate about helping clients understand the psychology behind behaviors that support wellbeing and performance, bringing greater meaning and purpose to everyday life. In my work with the AFL Players' Association, I also support athletes in developing their off-field lives to positively influence their on-field performance.

I work primarily with adults, drawing on personal values and strengths to create a space for exploration, connection, and goal-setting that supports lasting health and wellbeing. Outside of work, life is full with my three energetic boys. I also enjoy meaningful conversations over good food, staying active, and making memories on family holidays.

Linda Williamson (She/Her)

Psychologist & Clinical Neuropsychologist

I work with clients to discover, build, or reconnect with their individual strengths and what matters most to them, helping them navigate life's challenges with flexibility. These challenges can include physical or mental wellbeing, coping with the everyday effects of thinking or memory difficulties, managing life transitions, or simply feeling stuck and unsure how to move forward.

My approach is shaped by my experience as a senior clinical neuropsychologist working in neurological rehabilitation, alcohol and other drug services, community, and justice settings. I also teach in a postgraduate neuropsychology program and provide supervision to both trainee and experienced neuropsychologists.

Outside of work, I'm a mum to two energetic kids, and I enjoy traveling and taking on increasingly complex baking projects.
