About me
Hi, I’m Rebecca, it takes courage to start therapy, I offer a warm and accepting space where you can share your struggles without judgement.
Some clients reach out because they want help managing stress and anxiety, are suffering in silence with OCD, feel alone with their trauma or have a complicated relationship with their family of origin.
Whatever brings you, our sessions offer a safe, reflective place to talk openly and better understand your feelings and difficulties.
As an integrative psychotherapist, I draw from a range of therapy approaches. We might use parts of:
- compassion-focused therapy to lift your confidence
- CBT to connect with daily coping skills
- IFS to build resilience after major losses
- or attachment theory to explore healthier relationship patterns
Previous clients have said this way of working has helped them get to the heart of their issues and given them the tools to bring about lasting change in their lives.
At its core, my practice is person-centred. I believe you as the client are the expert on yourself. Sessions will be guided by what you choose to explore and your pace. And I place special emphasis on building a strong and trusting therapeutic relationship.
I feel deeply privileged to work as a therapist, and to be invited to sit alongside you as you navigate your life's challenges. I welcome working on a short or more long-term basis, and have worked with clients for a one-off check-in through to therapy that spans a number of years.
It's important you feel comfortable with a therapist, contact me to ask any questions or to book in our first session together.
Training, qualifications & experience
In addition to an MA from the University of Edinburgh, I hold a Diploma in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy, accredited by the University of the West of Scotland.
As a psychotherapist, I have provided both one-to-one and group therapy. My previous experience includes working as part of a hospital psychiatry team and at a CBT centre and alcohol charity.
Before my career as a therapist, I worked for over 10 years in the charity sector. I managed a drug and alcohol service for men in prison and on probation, supported bereaved individuals on a national helpline, and coordinated events for Black and Asian creatives.
As a member of BACP, I am dedicated to non-discriminatory and ethical practice.
I’ve undertaken further professional training on:
- desire and intimacy
- gender, sex and relationship diversity
- DBT distress tolerance skills
- recovery from narcissistic abuse
- working sensitively with ADHD and autism
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.
