More about Rebecca
- 5 years' experience
- Female
- BACP
I am a UK therapist (MBACP Accred) with five years of experience working with clients facing various and complex issues, some of which include stress and anxiety, relationship issues, identity and motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I am a specialist in the field of grief and bereavement and have undertaken extensive research in this area, which is being reviewed for publication.
Alongside my work with clients, I am a university lecturer in Counselling and Psychotherapy. I have a broad background in working with distressed or vulnerable individuals; including looked after children, traumatized individuals and people with learning disabilities.
My therapeutic approach is 'integrative', meaning that I combine person-centred counselling, cognitive behavioural therapy and attachment theory in my work. I believe that this is helpful as it moves away from the 'one size fits all' idea... everyone is unique! This means that I am able to work with a wide range of issues and allows me to tailor the therapeutic experience to you.
Ways of working aside, choosing the right therapist is important. Like all people on earth, I have my own set of distinct qualities and values that make me who I am. Acceptance, trustworthiness, understanding, an open mind and commitment to your success are the foundation of my work.
Therapy can be a life changing opportunity. We can work together in a way that works for you, to help you create lasting change. I am ready to support and empower you should you want to begin this process.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
