About me
Hello, I'm Rebecca, and I'd like to welcome you to my profile today.
'Choosing therapy is a brave step towards better mental health…'
Do you feel your worries and doubts are weighing you down, making your mind race constantly? These emotions can become overwhelming, and as you experience them, it can feel lonely and exhausting. You might find it hard to enjoy life, work, and relationships. The strain can intensify as days and weeks pass, resulting in low self-esteem and feeling stuck in life–– therapy is here to support you when life challenges you most.
In the calm and safe space I create, we will gently explore your problems and feelings together at your own pace. You will find me understanding, compassionate, and empathetic as I guide you through what is holding you back and help you discover the deeper meaning behind these obstacles. Reaching out for support is your first step toward rebuilding and strengthening your self-confidence, well-being, and self-esteem.
How Can Therapy Help You
Grief is a deeply personal experience to you, and be reassured there is no right or wrong way to grieve. Healing occurs gradually; it cannot be forced or rushed as you experience the immense sadness, anger, guilt and confusion it brings. It may feel like a rollercoaster of ups and downs, highs and lows. Therapy can support you as we work through the intense emotions together and overcome obstacles in your grieving process, allowing it to unfold naturally. You will begin to find healthy ways to cope with the pain, and in time, it can ease your sadness and support you as you come to terms with your grief and towards finding new meaning in your life.
Life transitions can leave you uncertain about the future, scared, and overwhelmed about how to move forward. You might long for the life you once had and the person you were. You might question, 'Who am I now…?' Retirement, empty nester, menopause, and age milestones can become new beginnings. Therapy can help you find a new purpose, rebuild and rediscover yourself to feel more confident, and remove the self-doubt that held you back.
Relationships, family estrangement, separation and divorce can leave you stressed, anxious, grief-struck and isolated. Imagine feeling less alone as we explore these intense emotions and relationship struggles, building healthier, more fulfilled relationships and restoring your well-being.
If you'd like to try therapy or have any questions as you decide whether counselling is right for you, please reach out to me by email, a call, or text, and we can discuss how I can help. I offer an initial getting-to-know-you call at no charge, and there's no obligation to book a session afterwards.
It can feel daunting to take this first step, but I'd like to reassure you that I will make you feel at ease. You will find me friendly, warm and caring.

Training, qualifications & experience
I have supported local charities and collaborated with GP referrals as a counsellor. As a long-term Cruse Bereavement Counsellor, I am experienced in providing compassionate support both over the phone and face-to-face for those grappling with grief. My goal is to help you feel less alone as you work through the unpredictable stages of your grief. At Age UK and The Royal Voluntary Service, I supported those who felt isolated and often lacked family support and helped those living with dementia.
'I want to thank you so much for your time, Rebecca. This hurt will always be with us, but you have taught me how to deal with it and breathe. Just listening to your voice and talking about everything was a big help...' Client feedback - grief support
How therapy supported me - I've faced challenges and felt stuck in my life. Therapy has been a vital support, helping me reconnect with myself during challenging times. It guided me through a midlife career shift, divorce, health scares, and the emotional impact of the stages of Parkinson's disease on a parent and a late ADHD diagnosis. I truly appreciate the invaluable support that helped me navigate these overwhelming experiences when I felt most lost. You're not alone in this—many of us are on similar journeys.
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations. In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.
