Background and approach

Rebecca works with issues around self-esteem, anger and addictions too. In sessions she encourages open conversation about thoughts and feelings. Her style blends practical techniques with space to talk about the past.

She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot unhelpful patterns and solution-focused tools to set small, achievable goals. Rebecca also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at long-standing patterns that affect current life. For trauma-related work she uses trauma-focused methods to help people process painful events at a manageable pace.

Her approach is flexible and responds to what each person needs in the room. People can expect straightforward language, short-term goal setting and steady support between sessions. Rebecca invites people to begin with a simple matching process and then arrange sessions that suit their life and rhythm.

How Rebecca’s approaches translate to online therapy

Rebecca blends client-centred work with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to make online sessions focused and practical. Client-centred therapy means she listens carefully and follows what matters most to the person. This helps build a supportive relationship even when meeting remotely. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy offers clear tools to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour, which can be practised between sessions.

She also uses trauma-focused methods when working with past harm, pacing the work to match each person's readiness. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and how someone wants to work, then try methods that fit the person’s needs and pace.

Online formats give flexibility for different circumstances. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a person prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection or weekly updates between sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, caregiving or other commitments without losing continuity of care.
