How Rebecca works
That mix means she is used to practical day-to-day problems as well as more complex emotional issues. Her approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. Sessions focus on what is happening now, what you want to change, and small steps you can try between meetings.
She adapts ideas from client-centred work, cognitive behavioural methods, narrative techniques and psychodynamic thinking to fit each person’s needs. Rebecca often helps people untangle family conflict, attachment worries, abandonment fears and difficulty with communication. She also supports those dealing with trauma, domestic violence, sexual assault, and the emotional fallout of separation and divorce.
She works with concerns linked to body image, kink and alternative sexual culture, and neurodivergence including autism and Asperger Syndrome. Her style is warm and attentive. Rebecca listens first, then helps you map out practical strategies and new ways of understanding painful patterns.
She accepts clients internationally and works in English from a UK base.

Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-centred therapy prioritises your experience and what matters most to you, offering a listening space where you set the pace and topics. It helps when someone needs a supportive ear to make sense of feelings and choices.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on practical strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It is useful for problems like anxiety, low mood, sleep or eating difficulties because it gives clear tools to try between sessions.
Narrative therapy helps you look at the story you tell about yourself and the events in your life, so you can find alternative meanings and new ways forward. This can be helpful for issues linked to identity, relationships and past trauma.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will collaborate with you to choose and adapt methods based on your goals, preferences and the issues you bring. The first few sessions are often about trying things and seeing what fits.
Online sessions offer flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls suit fuller conversations and visual connection, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins or for people who prefer writing. These formats allow for regular contact without the need to travel, and they can be scheduled around work, family and daily routines.
