About me
Stepping Stones Counselling and Psychotherapy Limited is an established business since 2017, providing counselling, psychotherapy, EMDR, REWIND, Mindfulness, EFT, ACT, Play Therapy, Creative Therapies, hypnotherapy and CBT across the South East, for clients experiencing a wide variety of presentations as well as across the world for online clients.
Stepping Stones was founded by Rebekah, who is a Psychodynamic Psychotherapist, Trauma Therapist and Certified EMDR Therapist. From additional systemic and trauma training, Rebekah also offers couples counselling.
Rebekah has over 29 years of professional experience in working with people experiencing mental health difficulties within the NHS, supporting people from a wide variety of contexts and with a mix of different issues. Since retraining as a therapist, Rebekah has particularly specialised in working with those who have experienced a range of life traumas and mental health challenges, including 999 personnel. Rebekah offers EMDR therapy, which can be used to reprocess trauma, phobic reaction and a variety of mental health issues with very good effect.
Rebekah has experience of working with students to university level and is a qualified tutor/lecturer, now acting as an Honorary Fellow at UCL for Junior Doctors. and Visiting Lecturer at University of Roehampton on their MA Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy qualification as well as a Research Supervisor for the MA CYP Psychotherapy award. She offers reduced fee sessions for trainee counsellors, as well as reduced fee supervision for trainee counsellors.
Rebekah is joined by a growing number of qualified therapists, who together offer a range of specialities including couples/families work, CBT, DBT, ACT, CPT, creative therapies, hypnotherapy, specialist therapy for working with those who have addictions, solution focused therapy, Trauma Focused CBT, REWIND and EMDR. We additionally work with children and young people using play therapy, systemic therapy and CBT.
Face to face sessions are held in Worthing and Hassocks and we continue to work successfully online across all of our therapies. Online therapy includes email, IM and webcam sessions which are all provided via secure, encrypted platforms.
Stepping Stones therapists generally work in a '12 session model' but all decisions surrounding duration of sessions will be agreed in the assessment session, with both short and long term therapy being possible. Sessions last for 50 minutes and are payable by card at the time of the session.
Our approach to therapy enables each client, as an individual, to process and work through thoughts, patterns of behaviour and life challenges, as well as meet times of crisis with a reflective mind.
Our work with people is focused upon enabling them to develop and improve their quality of life, and explore any problems and difficulties, whatever they may be caused by.
Life's stress can derive from a wide variety of sources including relationship difficulties, work pressures, family histories and dynamics, as well as social anxieties, self-esteem and image issues and other mental health difficulties. Human experience also often involves trauma and bereavement, which, when unexplored, can lead to noticeable relational difficulties in all manners of life, not just with those we are closest to.

Member organisations
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society
This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations.
In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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).
