About me
Hello, I’m Rebecca, a qualified Psychodynamic Counsellor based near Bath, Somerset.
You may be feeling anxious, low or overwhelmed, struggling with relationships, or finding it difficult to understand your thoughts and feelings. Perhaps you are experiencing intrusive thoughts, the effects of trauma, difficulties around food or body image, adjusting to physical illness, or coping with loss and bereavement. Or you may simply feel that something isn’t quite right, without knowing exactly why.
I offer a warm, confidential and non-judgemental setting where you can talk openly about your experiences and have time to reflect on what may be troubling you.
I work with adults from a wide range of backgrounds and life experiences, recognising that everyone is different. My aim is to build a trusting therapeutic relationship where you feel listened to, respected and able to work at your own pace.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a Diploma in Psychodynamic Counselling and am a qualified Psychodynamic Counsellor.
My training has given me a strong grounding in psychodynamic theory, including an understanding of how our early experiences and relationships can influence the ways we think, feel and relate to ourselves and others.
I work with adults experiencing a range of difficulties, including anxiety, low mood, intrusive or overwhelming thoughts, relationship difficulties, trauma, loss and bereavement, food and body image concerns, and adjustment to physical illness.
I am committed to continuing my professional development and to providing ethical, thoughtful and respectful counselling.

Further information
I offer weekly, 50-minute in-person sessions, held at the same time each week.
We begin with two initial consultation sessions, providing an opportunity to discuss what you are looking for from counselling and to consider whether we feel comfortable working together.
If we decide to continue, sessions are open-ended, with no fixed number or predetermined end date. We can review the work together as it develops and decide what feels appropriate for you.
Starting counselling can feel daunting, particularly if you are unsure what to expect. You do not need to have everything figured out before making contact. If you would like to find out more, please get in touch by email or phone. I am happy to answer any questions before you decide whether to arrange an initial consultation.
