Background and approach

Rebecca uses clear, simple tools from cognitive behavioural work and acceptance-based ideas to change unhelpful thoughts and responses. Rebecca is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She follows the association's ethical framework and brings four years' experience to her practice.

She offers individual counselling for adults aged 16 and over and draws on a mix of methods tailored to each person's needs. Her work may include practical skills for managing strong emotions, paced exploration of traumatic memories, and help with relationships and intimacy-related concerns. She also supports people with sleep problems, parenting strain, career stress and life transitions.

Conversations are intended to be honest and down to earth, with goals set together. People can expect a calm, attentive presence and short-term or longer-term work depending on their goals. Rebecca combines emotional support with concrete strategies like grounding, behavioural experiments and mindful noticing to help people manage day-to-day challenges.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Rebecca regularly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking action based on their values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and issues that come from avoidance.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, a practical method that looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. CBT offers step-by-step exercises to reduce worry, improve sleep and change unhelpful routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will discuss goals, preferences and responses to different methods and together decide what feels most useful. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different lifestyles. Video calls suit deeper conversations, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for short check-ins and messaging lets people reflect in their own time. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and everyday life while keeping continuity between sessions.
