Background and approach

Sessions are practical as well as reflective, and often include simple exercises to try between meetings. People come to Rebecca with a wide range of concerns. She has particular experience with chronic pain, phobias, stress, trauma and issues that affect daily life and relationships.

She also supports those facing identity and intimacy questions, work-related strain, and problems with sleep or appetite. Her approach is collaborative. She helps clients uncover patterns, make sense of difficult feelings, and develop coping steps that fit their life.

Meetings are conversational rather than formal, and Rebecca aims to create a non-judgemental space for honesty and change. Rebecca offers video, phone, live chat and text-based support for anyone able to work in English. International clients are accepted and practical arrangements are discussed when someone starts the matching and scheduling process.

Approaches that can be used online and how they help

Somatic-informed work uses simple body-based practices to help calm the nervous system and make intense emotions easier to sit with; this can be useful for people coping with trauma, chronic pain or overwhelming anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship experiences shape current patterns and helps people build safer ways of relating and communicating. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being listened to without judgement and helps people find their own pace for change through empathy and acceptance.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. Together they will try different ways of working and agree a plan that feels manageable and relevant to the person’s life.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments and allow practical techniques and reflective conversations to continue even when meeting remotely. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and check progress across these formats so people get ongoing support in a way that suits them.
