About me
Hello and a warm welcome to taking your first step towards feeling better and finding out how I can help you or perhaps a family member.
I am an experienced therapist with person-centred core values, which means that your unique and individual needs, beliefs and choices are always at the heart of my work to help enhance your healing, empowerment and self-discovery in a way that benefits you the most.
I specialise in working with adults, young people and teenagers. I have extensive experience working with a wide range of concerns, including general anxiety, social anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, narcissistic abuse, relationship/family issues, separation, infidelities, co-dependency, academic challenges, self-harm, self-worth, bullying, workplace issues and more.
My approach is warm, supportive, collaborative and holistic. I offer a safe, non judgemental space of acceptance and empathy. At times I will gently challenge you to help establish more clarity and perspective on certain issues, whilst at the same time ensuring you are feeling supported throughout. My focus is you and my approach is tailored around drawing on your strengths and empowering you to step further into your authentic self.
I am a human first and a counsellor second, so you can expect a humanistic approach when working with me, where all emotions are welcome. Whilst therapy can bring up to the surface a lot of pain and discomfort to be healed and released, it can also offer space for a lot of laughter and joy and I work to offer a relationship that can experience the wholeness of you.
Together we can work to help improve your well-being and help you make the changes in your life that you would like to happen. It can be an opportunity to explore your concerns with me, without judgement and in a way which you may not be able to do with your friends or family.
Life at times can present extreme hardships and challenges, and as a result, our emotions can become incredibly hard to manage. I believe however, that when you are given a sense of being truly listened to and deeply understood, you can then begin to resolve the issues that are preventing you from gaining strength, moving forward and enjoying your life.
I would like to offer you the opportunity to look at life in a different way with someone who will respect you and your thoughts and it’s time devoted entirely to you.
Thank you for being here and taking the time to read through my profile. You may decide I may or may not be the right person to support you at this time, but I wish you well on your healing journey.
Rebecca

Training, qualifications & experience
I have completed an FdSc in Person-Centred Counselling at the University of Brighton and I am a registered member of the B.A.C.P. I have worked for many years at the state and private schools, colleges and universities as a school and parent counsellor and as a student mentor to students of all ages. Over the past 5 years, I have dedicated my time to my private practice supporting both adults and young people on a vast range of diverse issues.
My work experience has included working for registered charities such as the Salvation Army Housing Association providing support to single and homeless people, Brighton Women’s Centre, helping facilitate groups for emotional support and well-being, counselling support at the Macmillan Cancer Support and as a Place2Be counsellor, a mental health charity supporting children and young people. I have also worked at length with single-parent families, the LGBTQ community and individuals who have suffered emotional and domestic abuse.
My experience of working through many of my own internal challenges informs how I live and how I work as a counsellor now. I bring a wealth of both professional and personal life experiences that inform my practice and my ability to compassionately relate in a heartfelt manner to people from all different walks of life.
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.
