Rebecca Straughan

I currently have some availability for online sessions on Thursdays and Fridays between 9.30am and 1.30pm and Monday evenings between 6pm and 9pm. I am in the process of making a space for face to face work but cant offer it at the moment. 

You don’t need to have the right words to begin.

People come to therapy for many different reasons. You might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, uncertain, or simply aware that something isn’t quite right. Whatever has brought you here, therapy can offer a space to slow down, speak freely, and begin to make sense of your experience in your own way, with care, curiosity, and space to reflect.

I am a person-centred counsellor offering a warm, non-judgemental space for adults seeking support with trauma, neurodivergence, identity, anxiety, and life transitions. My approach is grounded in the belief that people are the experts in their own lives, and that meaningful change happens when we feel genuinely heard, accepted, and understood.

Before retraining as a counsellor, I worked for many years in a professional corporate role. This background gives me a strong understanding of stress, burnout, and the pressures of modern life, alongside a practical, grounded way of working. I am particularly interested in supporting people who feel unsettled, unsure of themselves, or questioning who they are beneath long-standing patterns of coping or adaptation.

We will work at your pace, focusing on building a safe and trusting relationship where you can explore whatever feels most important to you. I welcome people from all backgrounds and aim to offer a space where you do not need to explain or justify who you are.

I offer a free 20 minute introductory call or online meeting where we can have a chat about how we might work together and see if it is a good fit.
