How Rebecca’s approaches translate to online counselling

Rebecca often uses client-centred methods and cognitive behavioural therapy in her work. Client-centred therapy means the counsellor focuses on listening, reflecting and following the person’s priorities to build trust and clarity. Cognitive behavioural therapy helps people spot unhelpful thought patterns and try practical changes to reduce anxiety or low mood.

She may also draw on mindfulness techniques to help with emotional regulation and stress, and psychodynamic ideas to look at longer-standing patterns. These approaches can suit problems like anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and relationship difficulties when used together over a few sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Rebecca will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit the situation, and adjust the plan as needed. The aim is to find what works in everyday life rather than force a single model.

If you are considering online work, please confirm the session formats available before booking. Practically, online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work and family commitments, allow more frequent short check-ins, or avoid travel time. Discuss any practical preferences and constraints during the initial match so the approach and schedule suit your needs.
