About Rebecca
Rebecca Bennett offers a person-centred way of working that keeps the client at the heart of every session. She is a BACP counsellor with eight years of experience based in the United Kingdom and aims to provide a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk and be heard. Her approach draws on client-centred principles alongside trauma-focused methods learned through additional training.
That means sessions often start with open conversation to build trust, then move to practical strategies for managing strong emotions and upsetting memories.
Background and approach
Techniques may include simple grounding exercises and psycho-education that explain how stress affects the body and mind. Rebecca has worked with services that support people affected by sexual and domestic violence, and she brings that experience into how she supports people dealing with trauma.
She also helps with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, life changes, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose and self-love. Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to the client. Rebecca explains ideas plainly and offers exercises that can be tried between meetings to build coping skills.
She adapts methods to what each person finds most helpful. To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and choose a time that suits them. The focus is on practical steps and steady progress, with room to talk and to make sense of difficult experiences.

How Rebecca works online
Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on reducing the hold that past harmful events have on daily life. It uses grounding, education about how trauma affects the nervous system, and step-by-step strategies to manage triggers and strong emotions. This approach can help when trauma or abuse has left someone feeling overwhelmed or stuck.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try different methods to see what helps most. Clients are invited to feed back so the plan can change if needed.
If you are considering online sessions, check which session formats the therapist currently offers before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around busy days, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules require them. It also makes it possible to continue progress from wherever you are, with practical tools and exercises that can be used between meetings.
