About Rebecca
Rebecca Sutherland is a BACP counsellor with 25 years of experience. She offers calm, practical support for people facing stress and anxiety. She listens without judgement and helps clients make sense of difficult feelings.
She has worked in a rape crisis centre providing one-to-one support for victims of rape and adult survivors of child sexual abuse. She also spent time at an alcohol residential rehabilitation unit delivering one-to-one psychodynamic counselling and co-facilitating group work focused on personal development.
Background and approach
Work in a women's refuge and a mental health residential setting has informed her response to domestic and psychological abuse. Those roles involved supporting people who were managing mental health difficulties alongside experiences of abuse and addiction. Her approach is client-centred, so conversations reflect what the client brings.
She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns from the past and systemic thinking to consider how relationships affect current problems. Sessions are shaped to suit each person’s needs. Rebecca offers online options including video calls, phone, live chat and text messaging.
She aims to create a respectful, sensitive and compassionate space where people can gain insight and plan practical steps. Choosing to start therapy is a step towards change, and she focuses on supporting that process.
How Rebecca’s approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience. The counsellor listens attentively and helps the client find their own way forward; this can help with anxiety, low mood and decision-making.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how earlier relationships and experiences shape present feelings and reactions. This approach can be useful for people who notice repeating patterns or who want to understand the roots of long-standing distress.
Systemic Therapy pays attention to relationships and how they influence a problem. It helps people see how family or close relationships affect stress, parenting concerns, intimacy issues and conflict.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and help choose or adapt methods that feel most useful. That decision is made together and can change as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when meeting in person is hard. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is low or the camera feels distracting. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, flexible scheduling and people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and to keep continuity of care across locations.
