Rebecca Shave

I work with clients facing many life difficulties who would like support to understand themselves better and recover or heal from the experiences they have had. Some people have very specific experiences they know they are challenged by, others may feel things are not quite right at the moment and would like some time to try to work on their well-being and change the way they feel. Through the process of counselling, engaging in exploration and building a therapeutic relationship , my goal is to engender change, empowering my clients to make choices that suit them and meet their needs.

I am trained in a number of different types and forms of counselling and I use these interchangeably to provide a client focused practice. All the methodologies I use are humanistic, which means that it is my clients unique experiences that lead the work, there is no predetermined session format to follow and the amount of time a client remains in counselling is specific to their needs.

All of my work is rooted in trauma-informed practice, I recognise the pervasiveness of trauma and the diverse ways in which people who are exposed to trauma can experience symptoms neurologically, psychologically, personally and socially. Avoiding re-traumatisation is fundamental to my practice and is a core element of my work. 

Additionally, I am a neurodiversity advocate and I have appropriate awareness and experience of the nuances of Autism and ADHD to enable me to tailor my approach to the diversities of all my clients.

I believe in reducing the barriers to counselling so I work face to face with clients in a purpose-built office which is designed to be a calm space where clients feel safe enough to share their experiences.
