About Rebecca
Becky describes her approach as listening with empathy and validation. She encourages clients to move at their own pace and keeps control of what is discussed firmly with the person in therapy. This helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, trauma, or relationship and intimacy-related issues to feel safer speaking about difficult things.
Her background includes training placements in an NHS GP practice, work with imprisoned women in a closed-category maximum security prison, and support roles at a mental health charity in a deprived area. Those experiences gave practical exposure to a wide range of issues and life circumstances.
Becky also holds a BSc (Hons) in Psychology, which was accredited by the British Psychological Society. She has an interest in how psychiatric medication can affect people, and uses that understanding when helping clients make sense of their experiences.
She currently provides live chat and text sessions in afternoons and evenings UK time, and accepts clients from anywhere in the world. To start, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then book according to the therapist's schedule.

How Client-Centred Work Fits with Online Therapy
Client-Centred Therapy is built around listening, empathy and supporting the person to lead the conversation. In this approach the counsellor reflects what is said and helps the person notice their own thoughts and feelings, which can help with issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, anger and self-esteem.Because Becky describes herself as a person-centred practitioner, her work focuses on creating a steady, accepting space for people to explore what matters to them. That collaborative process means she will work with each person to decide what feels most helpful and adapt the pace and focus to their goals and preferences.
Becky currently provides live chat and text sessions in afternoons and evenings UK time, and sees clients from around the world. If you prefer another session type, check the available options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a busy day.
