Background and approach
That means sessions begin with what the client wants to change, and then explore small steps to get there. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in relationships and how early bonds affect current feelings. Rebecca often works with issues such as bereavement, depression, panic and stress.
She also supports people dealing with intimacy concerns, commitment worries, jealousy, and the fallout of infidelity. Additional focus areas include abandonment, codependency, autistic spectrum concerns, and problems with communication. Sessions use clear, everyday language and encourage clients to try techniques between meetings.
Rebecca offers a mixture of reflection and practical exercises, including mindfulness practices and behavioural tasks to test new habits. She aims to help people feel steadier, more able to cope, and clearer about next steps. Work is offered from the United Kingdom and is conducted in English.
Rebecca is a BACP Therapist - Registered Member MBACP and has six years' counselling experience. If someone wants to begin, they can follow the site process to match and schedule sessions.

Approaches to online counselling and how they help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is about noticing thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and choosing actions that match a person's values. It can help when anxiety, depression or avoidance get in the way of everyday life.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past and present relationships shape current patterns. It can be useful for intimacy issues, abandonment worries, trust problems and difficulties with close relationships.
Rebecca treats finding the right approach as a shared task. She will work together with the client to pick methods that fit their goals, needs and preferences. That might mean using more person-centred listening at first, then adding CBT tasks or mindfulness practices as appropriate.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video is good for full conversations and exercises, phone sessions can suit shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited, and messaging allows ongoing reflection between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and day-to-day life and help people access support from their own location.
