About Rebecca
Rebecca Garside is a person centred counsellor who helps people manage relationship and family challenges. She supports clients with LGBT matters, parenting concerns and coping with life changes. She aims to make hard conversations easier and to help people find clearer ways forward.
She uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening and responding to each person as an individual. Sessions tend to centre on the client’s experience, with space to talk about identity, grieving, or major transitions.
Background and approach
The approach is practical and grounded in what matters to the person in the room. Beck has 13 years of counselling experience across a wide age range. She has worked with people who have been in the care system and with those dealing with adoption, foster care and family of origin issues.
She also supports people facing empty nest feelings and emotional changes later in life. Her work covers a broad set of concerns such as abandonment, blended family issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, domestic violence, addiction, eating difficulties and body image. She is an ally of the LGBTQIA+ community and can discuss coming out and questions of sexual and gender identity.
Rebecca is based in the United Kingdom and works in English. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled according to her availability. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Rebecca works online
The main aim in sessions is to be guided by the client’s needs and preferences. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide what feels most helpful, adjusting pace, topics and techniques as the relationship develops. Finding the right fit is part of the process and is discussed openly together.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing sessions from different locations. It also allows flexible scheduling for shorter check-ins or longer conversations depending on what is needed. Registered or accredited professionals can help clients balance regular sessions with day-to-day commitments and adapt the way they meet to suit energy levels, concentration and practical constraints.
