About Rebecca
Rebecca Dickinson offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, loss or relationship strain. She speaks plainly and listens closely to understand what is most pressing for each person. Her approach is warm and respectful, aimed at helping people take manageable steps toward feeling steadier and more in control.
Rebecca draws on ten years of professional experience working with a wide range of concerns. These include trauma and abuse, grief, eating and addiction issues, problems with intimacy and self-esteem, and difficulties linked to work and life transition.
How Rebecca works
She also supports people struggling with sleep, anger, compassion fatigue and feelings of isolation. Sessions are shaped around each person's needs. Rebecca works with topics such as attachment problems, codependency and communication difficulties, and helps people facing divorce or separation and domestic violence aftereffects.
She also addresses complex areas like post-traumatic stress, self-harm, sexual assault and end-of-life matters in hospice contexts. Rebecca is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She practises in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English.
Her style is collaborative - she helps people set realistic goals and chooses ways of working that fit their life and preferences. Practical arrangements include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Therapy uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and online options
Rebecca uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional processing. One common approach she draws on helps people understand how past relationships shape current feelings and behaviours - this work looks at attachment patterns and aims to improve closeness and communication in important relationships. Another approach focuses on trauma-informed care, helping people work through frightening or painful experiences at a pace they can manage and reducing the way those memories affect day-to-day life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca invites people to try methods and then adapt them together based on what helps most. She will discuss goals, preferences and any concerns and choose ways of working that fit the individual rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people have longer, face-to-face sessions; phone sessions are good when bandwidth is limited; live chat supports shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing; and text messaging can suit ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel commitments while keeping the focus on consistent progress.
