About Rebecca
Rebecca Hird helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship tensions, trauma and mood difficulties. She also supports people dealing with grief, addiction, eating concerns, low self-esteem and big life changes. Rebecca is based in the United Kingdom and works in English.
She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Rebecca listens without directing or giving advice. Sessions are a space to talk through thoughts and feelings and to notice patterns that might be getting in the way.
How Rebecca works
Often this conversational approach helps people see their situation from a different angle and make clearer choices about next steps. Therapy with Rebecca can be short or longer term depending on what someone needs. She usually offers weekly appointments and keeps the session focus open so clients can bring whatever matters most that week.
There is no strict plan that must be followed, but she will work alongside each person to decide how to proceed. Homework is not a regular feature, but it can be discussed when it feels helpful. Rebecca pays attention to attachment and relational patterns, alongside other areas such as trauma, addiction and body image.
Her work aims to make sense of past and present experiences to reduce overwhelm and unhelpful repetition. People who choose Rebecca often want a steady listening presence and time to think through difficult feelings without pressure. She welcomes conversations about whether psychodynamic counselling feels like the right fit and can explain more about the approach during an initial conversation.

Online support options
Psychodynamic counselling offered online
Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past experiences and early relationships shape current feelings and behaviour. It helps when someone feels stuck in repeating patterns, struggles with strong emotions, or wants to understand where their reactions come from.Rebecca uses this approach to help people notice unconscious patterns and make different choices. The work is conversational and reflective, aiming to bring hidden dynamics into view so they can be worked through over time.
Finding the right way of working is part of the therapy itself. Rebecca will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs with each person and together they will decide whether psychodynamic work, shorter-term focus or a different emphasis is the best fit.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and suit quick check-ins. Chat and messaging can work well for shorter updates or when someone prefers writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life or travel, while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
