About Rebecca
Rebecca Mcintosh helps people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure how to move forward. She writes in a straightforward way and focuses on what matters to each person. Rebecca presents as calm and approachable and aims to make reaching out feel like a manageable first step.
Rebecca has 12 years of experience as a Person-Centred Therapist. Person-Centred Therapy means she centres sessions on the client's own concerns and pace. She adapts sessions to what someone needs in the moment rather than applying a fixed programme.
Background and approach
Her work covers stress, anxiety, relationship issues, grief and coping with life changes. She also addresses ADHD, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, anger, self-esteem, bipolar and depression. Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, body image, chronic illness and pain, caregiving stress, codependency and substance-related problems.
Rebecca has experience supporting neurodivergent and disabled people. She also has a background working with people affected by cancer, developed during years at Cancer Support. That experience informs how she talks about illness, care and loss.
In sessions she aims to give clarity and space to think. Conversations are tailored to the individual. The goal is to help people notice options and take practical steps that fit their life.
People who prefer a compassionate, person-led approach may find her style helpful. She works from the United Kingdom and conducts work in English.

Approaches Rebecca lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
How Rebecca works online
Rebecca also uses Solution-Focused ideas to help people identify small, realistic steps that make a difference quickly. These approaches suit issues like anxiety, stress, relationship strains, grief and coping with life changes because they focus on what helps now and next.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Rebecca will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods as the work progresses. This means goals, pace and techniques are chosen together rather than imposed.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please check current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, cut travel time and allow shorter check-ins when a brief update is needed. It can also let someone choose a quieter moment for a session without needing to travel.
