About me
Hi, I'm Rebecca, an integrative psychotherapist based in the Lake District, with ten years’ experience. My practice is trauma‑informed and relational, offering a steady and thoughtful space to explore patterns, develop understanding, and support meaningful change over time.
Deciding to access therapy can be a difficult first step for any of us, and I recognise the courage it may take to simply get to this point.
I work collaboratively, with you at the centre of the process, and place care, acceptance, and compassion at the heart of my work. Together, we focus on creating enough safety and trust to allow honest exploration without pressure.
Therapy can offer valuable insight and support during difficult periods of your life, and a space to explore what’s happening at your own pace. I work with people navigating burnout, relationship difficulties, career uncertainty, creative challenges, identity shifts, and periods of significant change.
I offer online and in-person therapeutic support. I am experienced at working with clients online and will guide you through the process if it feels daunting.
Choosing a therapist:
I believe strongly in the strength of the therapeutic relationship in bringing about positive growth and change, and we want to be sure that this is the right therapeutic relationship for you. I offer an initial 20-minute, complementary conversation (online or over the phone) so that we can meet, explore what the therapy could be, and if my style and approach resonates with you and your needs.
I offer daytime appointments Monday - Thursday. I see my in-person clients on a Tuesday from Stricklandgate House in Kendal and I see my online clients more flexibly through the week via zoom. I'm happy to provide short-term and long-term therapy and remain flexible to changing situations.
I am also a clinical supervisor and love working with other therapists to develop and support their practice.
About me:
Before I began my therapy training, I was a documentary producer and I now run both a small private practice in Kendal, where I live with my partner and young children, alongside an organisation that provides psychological support to the film industry.
In my film work, I have supported filmmakers around the world who are covering stories on a vast number of topics - most commonly personal and collective trauma, grief, climate crisis, political uncertainty and displacement. I love working with creatives from any discipline.
I believe in a holistic approach to positive mental health and wellbeing and actively seek things that bring me joy - being outdoors, tending my garden, spending time with friends and family, reading and dancing are just a few.
I am passionate about people, creativity, kindness, safety and helping people to find the freedom to live the life that they truly want to live.

Ethics
I am an accredited member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and adhere to their code of ethics, which can be found at http://www.bacp.co.uk/ethical_framework/
Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
