Rebecca Mather

currently have availability for new clients. I offer an initial free chat so we can see whether we’re a good fit before you commit to anything.

I work online, with sessions available at these times:

Monday: 9am-3pm

Wednesday: 9am-7pm

Thursday: 9am-3pm

Friday: 9am-3pm

I don’t offer sessions on Tuesdays or at weekends. I have no planned time away at the moment, and I’ll update this section if that changes.

I aim to reply to enquiries within 24 hours. I don’t monitor messages outside working hours.

Hello, I’m Becca, an online perinatal counsellor. I support women through pregnancy, birth and life after baby, including the parts that often go unspoken.

I know this stage from the inside. I’ve lived through hyperemesis gravidarum and postpartum anxiety, and I remember how isolating it feels when everyone expects you to be glowing and grateful while you’re just trying to get through the day. That experience is a big part of why I do this work.

Becoming a mother is a huge transition, known as matrescence. Your body, identity, relationships and priorities all shift, and it’s completely normal to feel love, grief, joy and overwhelm all at once. With me, you don’t have to have it figured out. You can say the honest thing and be met with warmth, not judgement.

My approach is person-centred at its core, which means you’re the expert on your own life and I’ll meet you where you are. I’m matrescence-informed, and I draw on other therapeutic approaches where they help, so our work is tailored to you rather than a one-size-fits-all model. Sessions are 50 minutes, online, and usually weekly to begin with.

I can support you with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, birth experiences, hyperemesis, the identity changes of motherhood, and shifts in your relationships.

We’ll start with a conversation about what’s brought you here and what you’d like from our time together.

Welcome. I offer a warm, confidential space for women navigating pregnancy, birth and motherhood, whether you’re expecting, newly postnatal, or further down the road and still feeling the ripple effects.

What to expect

We’ll begin with a free introductory chat, where you can tell me what’s brought you here, ask me anything, and get a feel for whether we’re a good fit. There’s no pressure to commit and no need to have the words ready. Many people aren’t sure what they want to say until they start talking.

Sessions are 50 minutes, held online via Doxy.me, usually weekly to begin with. I know life with a baby or small children can be unpredictable, so we can talk through what works for you.

Our work moves at your pace. Some sessions may feel practical and focused, others slower and more reflective. I’ll check in regularly about how it’s feeling and whether it’s helping.

Your first step with me is a free 20-minute introductory chat over the phone. It’s a relaxed, no-pressure conversation.

It’s a chance for you to tell me a little about what’s brought you here, ask me anything about how I work, and get a feel for whether I’m the right fit for you. You don’t need to prepare anything or have the right words. Many people start with “I’m not sure where to begin,” and that’s absolutely fine.

I’ll explain how sessions work, including fees, cancellations and confidentiality, so you know exactly what to expect.

There’s no obligation to book anything afterwards. If we both feel it’s a good fit, we can arrange your first full session, which is 50 minutes online via Doxy.me and £60. In that session, we’ll talk through your history and what support you have around you, so I can understand what you need and how best to help. If I think someone else would suit you better, I’ll happily point you in the right direction.
