Rebecca uses client-centred listening alongside mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to help clients spot patterns and try new ways of coping.

People who come to Rebecca can expect straightforward language, practical tools and space to reflect. She asks people to be honest about goals so sessions stay aligned with real-life needs. To begin, clients use the site process to match and schedule a first appointment.

How Rebecca’s approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor offers a nonjudgemental space and follows what the client needs in the moment, which helps when someone is unsure where to start. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelm and return focus to the present, useful for anxiety, stress and coping with illness.

Finding the right way of working is a joint process. Rebecca will discuss options and try approaches that match the client’s goals and preferences. This collaborative stance means the plan can change as progress is made or as needs shift.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and make follow-up easier. Online work can be used for shorter check-ins, teaching mindfulness skills, or exploring emotional patterns in regular sessions, and it can make it simpler to balance appointments with caregiving or medical commitments.
