About Rebecca
Rebecca Foster is a counsellor with five years of experience who works with people dealing with stress and anxiety. She also supports those coping with relationship difficulties, grief, changes in self esteem and wider life transitions. Rebecca holds BACP accreditation, which she uses alongside practical, conversation-based therapy to help clients find ways forward.
She describes her approach as integrative. That means she blends person-centred counselling, cognitive behavioural techniques and ideas from attachment theory to suit each person.
Background and approach
She avoids a one-size-fits-all approach and adapts methods to the issue and the person in front of her. Rebecca has a special focus on grief and bereavement. She has carried out extensive research in this area that is currently under review for publication.
That background informs her work with people who are processing loss and the complex feelings that follow. Outside one-to-one counselling she teaches counselling and psychotherapy at university level. Her wider experience includes supporting people who have been looked after, people who have experienced trauma and people with learning disabilities.
These roles have shaped her practical, down-to-earth way of working. Her practice rests on acceptance, trustworthiness and a commitment to each person’s goals. Sessions are conversational and aim to help people build useful coping strategies and clearer ways of seeing their situation.
She invites people to take therapy at a pace that feels right for them.
Integrative approaches and online therapy options
Rebecca uses a blend of person-centred counselling and cognitive behavioural techniques in her online work. Person-centred counselling focuses on listening, acceptance and working at your pace, which helps when you need space to talk through feelings. Cognitive behavioural techniques look at thoughts and behaviours and offer practical exercises to reduce anxious thinking and build coping skills.She also draws on attachment-informed ideas to help people understand how early relationships shape current patterns. That can make a difference for those who notice repeated relationship difficulties or struggle with trust and closeness. Choosing the right mix of approaches is collaborative - the therapist will discuss options and try methods that match your goals and preferences.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, note-taking between sessions or people who prefer writing. These formats aim to fit therapy into busy lives and different routines while keeping the focus on your needs.
