About Rebecca
Rebecca Mcintosh is a BACP counsellor with 12 years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief and major life changes. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, bipolar and depression.
Rebecca uses a person-centred way of working. Sessions focus on listening, helping people make sense of what they are feeling and finding practical next steps. She adapts her approach to each person rather than following a fixed formula.
Her background includes work supporting neurodivergent and disabled people. Rebecca also has several years' experience at Cancer Support, where she worked with people affected by serious illness and the pressures that brings.
In sessions she talks through immediate difficulties and helps clients try different ways of handling day-to-day problems. That can include exploring attachment and abandonment concerns, communication and intimacy difficulties, and managing anger or codependency. She also works with issues such as chronic pain, caregiver stress and body image concerns.
Rebecca has experience helping people with substance misuse, domestic violence and dissociation, and with the emotional effects of chronic illness. Her style is straightforward and conversational. She usually helps people to identify small, realistic changes that make daily life easier.
If someone wants to try therapy they begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then booking a first session. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How her approaches work in online counselling
Rebecca commonly uses client-centred work and mindfulness in sessions. Client-centred work means the therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the person, which helps with feeling overwhelmed, relationship concerns and low self-esteem. Mindfulness involves simple attention and breathing practices to reduce rumination and stress and to help manage anxiety and mood swings.She also uses solution-focused steps when people want practical short-term changes. This approach breaks problems into smaller parts and experiments with specific actions to see what makes daily life easier. Trauma-focused techniques may be drawn on when past harm is a key part of current difficulties, and these are used carefully in collaboration with the client.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will discuss options with each person and agree together what to try first, adjusting as goals and needs change. That collaborative decision-making helps build a plan that fits real life.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around study, shifts and travel, reduce time spent commuting and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can offer the same kinds of therapeutic conversations online as in person, while working with clients to find the structure and rhythm of sessions that suits their routine.
