Rebecca Bayliss

Rebecca Bayliss is a counsellor who uses client-centred and psychodynamic approaches to help people make changes in their lives. She holds a Master’s level qualification in Counselling and Psychotherapy and brings four years of practice experience to her work. Rebecca aims to create a welcoming, non-judgemental space where people can talk openly about difficult thoughts and feelings.

She focuses on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, body image and LGBT issues. Rebecca also supports people dealing with parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem and coping with life changes. Her additional areas of attention include attachment and communication problems, codependency and challenges around commitment and control.

Rebecca describes her work as relational and exploratory. She helps people reconnect thoughts and bodily sensations that can become disconnected after stress or trauma. Sessions encourage people to notice how feelings show up in the body and to work through trapped emotions rather than only relying on medication.

Her approach aims to build a steady therapeutic relationship, where acceptance and open conversation are central. Rebecca combines client-centred listening with psychodynamic reflection and trauma-focused attention to uncover patterns and start practical change. She supports people in finding activities and ways of living that feel more satisfying.

Rebecca practises in the United Kingdom and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are conducted in English and she works with people who want to explore personal, emotional and relational challenges.

How her therapeutic approaches work online

Rebecca draws on client-centred and trauma-focused ways of working to guide conversations and supports people to be heard without judgement. Client-centred therapy emphasises being listened to and accepted, and it helps people explore their feelings at their own pace. Trauma-focused therapy pays attention to how difficult experiences have affected thoughts, emotions and bodily reactions, helping people gradually process and make sense of those experiences.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Rebecca will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and agree a way of working that feels right. This collaborative process means the plan can shift as understanding grows and priorities change.

Please confirm the current session options before booking as the biography does not list formats. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow people to join from different locations. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or quieter sessions that do not require video if that suits someone's needs. Registered or accredited professionals can explain which session style will best support practical goals and emotional work.
