Her background includes long experience with people who have lived in the care system. She has worked with adoption and foster care issues, and with people sorting through family of origin concerns. She also supports parents adjusting after children leave home and people dealing with grief and loss.
Rebecca is an ally of the LGBT community and talks through coming out, sexual identity and gender identity questions. She has worked with a wide range of presenting problems including body image, addiction, eating and emotional emptiness. Her practice is language-accessible in English and she accepts international clients.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and conversational. Rebecca encourages clients to try things between sessions and then review what did or did not help. She suggests an initial meeting to see how well the fit feels before proceeding.
How Rebecca uses person centred counselling online
The person centred approach focuses on attentive listening, reflecting back what the client says and helping them find their own solutions. It suits issues like identity questions, relationship concerns and coping with major life changes because the emphasis is on the clients perspective and pace.The counsellor also brings experience working with people from care backgrounds, adoption and foster care matters, and with parents adjusting to life after children leave home. This work tends to be conversational and explores how past experiences shape current feelings.
Finding the right style is part of the work. Rebecca will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then agree a way of working together. That decision is collaborative and can be revisited as therapy progresses.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around study, work and travel, reduce commute time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Registered or accredited professionals offering remote sessions often find this flexibility helpful for people balancing early-adult responsibilities.
