How Rebecca’s approaches work online

Rebecca works from a person-centred perspective that places the client’s experience at the centre of each session. This approach means she listens closely, reflects what emerges, and helps people find their own next steps rather than imposing a fixed plan. It is useful for anxiety, stress and times when someone feels stuck.

She also uses mindfulness techniques to help with grounding and reducing reactivity. Mindfulness work involves short exercises to notice thoughts and bodily sensations, and it often helps people manage nervous energy and intrusive worries.

Solution-focused ideas are used to set clear, practical steps in between sessions. This means identifying small, achievable goals and tracking what changes, which can be helpful for coping with life transitions or improving communication in close relationships.

Rebecca treats finding the right approach as a joint process. She discusses options with each person and adapts the focus based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences so the work feels relevant and doable.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow a full conversational session, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text messaging can suit brief check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and other commitments.
