About Rebecca

Rebecca is a person-centred counsellor with 12 years of experience. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, which is shown as BACP.
How Rebecca works
Her background includes work supporting people living with cancer and with diverse neurodivergent and disability-related needs. In sessions she listens without judgement and follows the person’s lead. That approach helps people who need space to talk, and those who want help narrowing down priorities and goals.
She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people manage anxiety and strong feelings. Rebecca offers solution-focused ideas when clients want short-term, practical ways to tackle problems. For trauma-related issues she brings trauma-focused methods alongside the more person-centred style, adapting to what each person needs.
She works with relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, mood difficulties and managing life changes. Sessions are tailored to individual circumstances, with clear discussion about goals and next steps. Rebecca aims to create a compassionate space where clients can speak honestly and explore options without pressure.

How Rebecca’s approaches work online
Rebecca uses a person-centred approach that focuses on each individual’s perspective and priorities. This means the therapist listens actively, follows the client’s lead and helps people articulate what matters most to them. It is useful for anyone who needs space to make sense of their feelings and set personal goals.Mindfulness techniques are also part of her work and involve simple awareness exercises to reduce stress and manage overwhelming feelings. These practices suit people who want concrete ways to calm strong emotions and improve day-to-day coping.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and the therapist will work collaboratively to choose what fits best. Rebecca discusses goals, preferences and practical needs with each person to shape sessions. That joint decision-making helps ensure the plan feels useful and realistic.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls give face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing, want to reflect between messages, or need brief, on-the-go support. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, care duties and other commitments while keeping the focus on progress.
