Background and approach
Her approach is person-focused and attentive to what each individual brings into the room. Her background includes one-to-one therapeutic work at a rape crisis centre supporting survivors of sexual violence. She has worked in an alcohol residential rehabilitation unit offering six-month intensive programmes and providing psychodynamic counselling alongside group personal development work.
She has also supported people in a women’s refuge and in mental health residential settings. In sessions Rebecca listens for patterns of attachment, abandonment issues and the wider family context that influence current difficulties. She aims to help people better understand feelings, build coping skills and make practical changes that fit their lives.
Conversation is tailored to each person’s needs and paced according to readiness. People who choose Rebecca can expect sensitive, steady support and a collaborative plan for change. She invites clients to take small, achievable steps towards more manageable routines, healthier relationships and improved self-care.

How Rebecca works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will discuss your goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then decide together which ways of working to try. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust methods as understanding grows and needs change.
The biography mentions online counselling opportunities but does not list specific session formats. Please confirm the available session formats before booking. Online work can make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people stay consistent with regular appointments while juggling family, work or treatment commitments.
