About me

Hello, I’m Rebecca Wilson. A Counselling Psychologist based in Swansea. When I’m not spending my time with my two dogs and husband, I am working within the NHS as a community Psychologist. 

I believe that the context in which we grow up and live in, shapes our sense of self and how we live our lives. I believe that our relationships (past, present and future) are key to our well-being and aim to explore and understand each person's own story and journey to well-being. 

I don’t subscribe to a “one size fits all” method in therapy. Each person is unique, and what works for one individual may not be effective for another. This belief means I appreciate individual differences and will think carefully with you to determine the most suitable approach, ensuring we are a good match. Taking an integrate approach, I draw upon various theoretical concepts and ideas that help me to understand each client and choose the best techniques that are always tailored to each person’s needs.

Alongside my role within the NHS, I am also a trustee of the charity, The Rocky Road Foundation. In my work with the Rocky Road Foundation, I am passionate about finding creative ways to support communities and local sporting clubs to promote, manage and maintain their well-being, through collaborative, skills-based approaches. I hope that those who engage or wish to engage in sport can do so with a positive mental fitness and physical fitness, regardless of their social, racial, economic or other position within life.

My core values are prevention, empathy, and compassion. I believe in an open and honest approach to therapy, where we can work together to explore and address the challenges you're facing.

Further information

I am currently only able to offer therapy sessions online via Microsoft Teams. 

Once you have reached out via email, I will respond for us to arrange a time to talk over the phone to complete the initial assessment. 

The initial assessment is free of charge, will be done via telephone and lasts approximately 30 minutes.

This is a chance for us both to ask any questions we might have, discuss the therapy process and agreement and arrange a time that is suitable for you for our first therapy session.
