Rebecca has five years of professional experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She holds an FdSc Degree in Integrative Counselling and a Professional Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling.
Background and approach
She also has certificates for working with people affected by addiction. Her background includes one-to-one and group work in residential settings where she supported people with substance and alcohol misuse, trauma and abuse. Rebecca has also worked in a supported psychiatric hospital supporting people with long-term mental health problems, including bipolar disorder, psychosis, self-harming behaviours and personality difficulties.
In session she blends client-centred listening with practical methods from cognitive behavioural therapy and dialectical behaviour therapy. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas and solution-focused techniques when helpful. The goal is to identify small, achievable steps that fit each person's life.
People come to Rebecca for many reasons - grief, parenting strain, eating or sleeping problems, career stress, ADHD, anger and intimacy issues among them. She aims to help clients talk through feelings, develop coping strategies and plan realistic changes. Therapy is collaborative and paced to each person's needs.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Rebecca often uses client-centred therapy which focuses on listening, empathy and helping people make sense of their own experience. This approach is helpful for building trust and exploring feelings such as grief, relationship strain or low self-esteem.She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together. CBT provides practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, manage mood swings and improve sleep or eating routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Rebecca will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest which methods might help most. Decisions about technique and pace are made collaboratively so the process fits your needs.
Online work is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video lets you have a session similar to an in-person meeting, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits shorter check-ins or people who prefer typed conversation. These options make it easier to fit sessions around family, work and other commitments.
