Background and approach

Additional focus areas include attachment difficulties, body image, fertility concerns and isolation. Rebecca uses a mix of practical talking therapies. She draws on client-centred therapy to keep sessions focused on what matters to the individual.

Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and build new coping skills. Mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas also inform her work. Mindfulness practices are offered to help with stress and grounding.

Psychodynamic thinking helps uncover patterns that keep repeating in relationships and life choices. Sessions are tailored to each person's situation and goals. Rebecca aims to build a calm, respectful space where people can try out new ways of thinking and behaving.

She encourages small, achievable steps so progress feels manageable.

Approaches you can try in online sessions

Rebecca uses client-centred therapy to keep the work focused on each person's priorities and experiences; this means sessions start from what matters to you and proceed at your pace. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, is used to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and practise new coping skills that reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will discuss options with the client and together decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. The process is collaborative and flexible so techniques can be adjusted over time.

Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls are useful for a full conversational session, phone work can be easier when bandwidth is low, and messaging or live chat can fit quick check-ins or days when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue work even when travel or timing would otherwise be a barrier.
