About Rebecca
Rebecca Gilmour is a pluralistic counsellor who uses a flexible mix of approaches to meet each person's needs. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or not quite themselves. Rebecca aims to help clients build clarity and feel more like themselves again.
She regularly works with anxiety and low mood, stress from work or life change, and difficulties around relationships and intimacy. Rebecca also supports people coping with grief, trauma and abuse, addiction issues, eating concerns, parenting strain, and compassion fatigue.
How Rebecca works
She helps clients looking to improve self-esteem, manage anger, or explore ADHD-related challenges. Sessions focus on what is useful for the individual. Rebecca and the client agree goals and check in often about what is working.
The pluralistic approach means the counsellor draws on different techniques and adapts them to each person’s pace and preferences. Rebecca has three years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation, which indicates recognition by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Her work is grounded in building a trusting therapeutic relationship where people feel heard and accepted.
People usually begin by describing what feels most difficult, then together they identify small steps to try between sessions. Rebecca encourages practical coping strategies alongside conversations about meaning and values, helping clients move towards clearer thinking and steadier day-to-day coping.

Online support options
How pluralistic therapy translates to online care
Rebecca uses a pluralistic approach, which means she draws on a small set of evidence-based techniques chosen to suit the person. For example, she may use problem-solving and practical coping strategies to reduce stress and manage anxiety, helping people try specific steps between sessions. She may also use exploratory, talk-based methods to help people understand patterns in relationships and build self-esteem, guiding reflection and behavioural changes.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Rebecca will talk with the client about their goals and preferences, try methods that seem likely to help, and review progress together. This way the work stays aligned to what the client finds useful rather than following a fixed programme.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when helpful, phone sessions suit those with lower bandwidth, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and texting supports ongoing reflection between scheduled meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life, or other commitments while keeping the focus on steady progress.
