About us
About me
Hi, I’m Rebeccah, a person-centred counsellor offering a warm, compassionate space where you can talk openly and feel heard without judgement.
You may be feeling constantly on edge, overwhelmed or stuck in your own thoughts. Perhaps you overthink everything, find it difficult to switch off, worry about things others seem to cope with easily, or feel exhausted from trying to hold everything together.
I work particularly with anxiety and generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), overthinking, low self-confidence and feelings of not being good enough.
Sometimes, from the outside, life can look completely fine while inside you feel very different. You might be quietly struggling, questioning yourself, feeling emotionally exhausted or wondering why you can’t simply stop worrying.
Therapy doesn’t have to be about someone telling you how to fix yourself. Our sessions are a space to slow things down, explore what is happening for you and begin to understand yourself with greater compassion.
My approach is gentle, relational and grounded in evidence-based practice. Alongside person-centred counselling, I draw on my knowledge of psychology, self-compassion and emotional wellbeing to help you develop a steadier relationship with yourself. Over time, this can help anxiety and difficult emotions feel less overwhelming and give you greater confidence in navigating them.
Pregnancy loss and perinatal grief
I also have a particular interest in supporting people affected by miscarriage, pregnancy loss and perinatal grief.
These experiences can bring anxiety, sadness, anger, guilt, numbness or isolation, and the depth of the loss isn’t always fully understood by those around you. Therapy offers somewhere your experience doesn’t need to be minimised or explained — a space where your loss can be recognised and compassionately held.
How I work
You don’t need to know exactly what to say or have everything figured out before coming to therapy. We can begin wherever you are.
I offer face-to-face counselling in Leigh, Lancashire, as well as online counselling across the UK.
If you’re considering counselling but aren’t sure whether I’m the right therapist for you, I offer a free 15-minute introductory call. There’s no pressure or obligation — it’s simply an opportunity to talk briefly about what you’re looking for and see whether working together feels right.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I hold a first-class degree in Psychology, Psychotherapy and Counselling, and a Master's degree in Positive Psychology and Counselling.
I have completed safeguarding training, and my clinical experience spans a range of settings, from working within the NHS, higher education, and community services. This has involved supporting individuals with a range of mental health challenges including the breakdown of a relationship to supporting women exposed to domestic and narcissistic abuse, resulting in trauma-related difficulties.
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.
