About Rebecca

Rebecca Meffen is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, concerns linked to LGBT identity, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and low mood. She works in a straightforward, warm way and aims to make the first step into therapy feel doable for someone who is unsure.

In sessions she creates an open space for people to talk about thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment.

Background and approach

Her style is client-centred, which means the conversation follows the person's needs and priorities rather than a fixed script. This helps people feel heard and understood before practical steps are introduced. Rebecca uses listening and reflective conversation to help clients notice patterns and decide what matters most to change.

She supports people to try small, manageable steps between sessions and to build on what already works for them. Progress is paced to the individual's comfort and goals. Her approach is practical and humane: she encourages honest talking, gentle challenge when helpful, and regular review of what is or is not working.

People often come with a clear problem or with a general feeling of being stuck; the work is shaped around that starting point. If someone is ready to explore therapy they complete a short matching questionnaire and then book sessions to suit their schedule. Rebecca aims to make appointments straightforward and to help people move from feeling overwhelmed to having clearer options.

How client-centred therapy adapts to online formats

Client-centred therapy is about following the person's lead and responding to what they say. In practice this means the counsellor listens closely, reflects what they hear, and helps the person explore what feels most important. This approach suits people who need a calm, validating space to work through anxiety, stress, self-esteem questions, or past trauma.

The counsellor's role is to create a cooperative process. Together the client and counsellor decide which topics to prioritise and what kinds of exercises or steps to try between sessions. That collaboration continues as the work moves online, with regular check-ins to see if the approach is helping and adjustments made where needed.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when tone and visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short check-ins, note-taking, or people who find typed communication easier to manage. These options help fit therapy around daily life and make it easier to keep regular contact with a counsellor.
