Hello, my name is Rebecca. I am a BACP Accredited Counsellor, offering one to one talking therapy, providing you with support and a listening ear when things get tough.

At the very core of my counselling practice is my belief that we all deserve to be who we are, without judgement.  Counselling offers a safe, confidential space within which you can openly explore the difficulties that you are facing. Talking it over can help.

My experience as a counsellor has offered me an opportunity to work with people facing a range of  life’s struggles: from feelings of depression & anxiety, low self-esteem, bereavement, physical and emotional trauma, work-related stress and relationship issues, through to the day to day issues that face the families and friends of those suffering long term mental and/or physical illnesses.

As a Humanistic Integrative counsellor, my role is to be alongside you during the counselling process, offering empathy, respect and encouragement.  There are times when you just need someone to hear you.  Allowing yourself to take that time to look after you can be a challenging and sometimes unfamiliar experience, and one that can ultimately lead to a greater sense of wellbeing and understanding.

Together, we can work find ways of enabling you to move forward in your life, with greater knowledge of yourself and tools to help you manage with difficult feelings.

Currently, I am offering in person, online and telephone based sessions.

It can be helpful to have in initial chat on the phone which helps me understand more about your counselling needs and also offers a chance for you to ask any questions you might have. We can arrange a free initial chat of up to 15 minutes. Please contact me to arrange a convenient time to talk.

I understand that online working might feel unusual or impersonal and I am happy to talk through any concerns you might have about working this way.  

I am affiliated with BUPA, Aviva and other organisations.

The initial counselling session will focus on understanding how counselling can best support the difficulties you are facing. 

We will talk through your counselling needs and assess whether counselling is the right step for you and what other support might be needed.  

This first session also offers an opportunity to ask any questions you might have about the counselling process and a chance for you to decide whether I am the right counsellor to support you.  

We will talk through the counselling agreement, covering confidentiality and agreeing on a way of working together going forward.

The counselling process is unique to each individual and so we will work session by session, enabling you to choose how many sessions are right for you. 

Currently offering one to one in person or online supervision:

Mon-Thurs: 9am to 6pm

Friday: 9am to 2pm

Saturday: 9am to 12pm 

Concessionary rates are available for counselling students, please contact me to discuss. 

Supervision session typically last 90 minutes or 2 x 45 minutes, if appropriate.

The role of a supervisor is to support the counsellor in their counselling practice, providing a space for open reflection on all aspects of the counselling process. 

My supervision practice is firmly based on the Hawkins and Shohet Process Model of Supervision, also known as the 7 eyed model.  I offer a supportive and collaborative environment, actively encouraging counsellors to continue to grow their knowledge and skills and expand their practice and experience and to provide the most appropriate counselling service to their client.  

As a BACP Accredited Counsellor, I work within the Ethical Framework for Counselling Professions 2018 and am committed to promoting the wellbeing of clients. 

For qualified counsellors undertaking further training, I can provide supervision reports as necessary to support your studies.

I also offer supervision of supervision, for qualified supervisors.  Please contact me for more details.

My supervision practice is currently based in person or online  via Zoom, offering one to one supervision for counsellors working in private practice or within agency.  

Our first supervision session will focus on understanding how supervision can best support your practice. Whilst our counselling experience and training to date may differ, exploration of your supervision needs allows us to identify commonalities and differences that can enrich the supervision process. 

We will talk through the supervision agreement and agree on a way of working together going forward.
