Rebecca Toal

I currently have availability on Mondays and Tuesdays. If you are interested in sessions later in the week, we can organise these on a more ad hoc basis.

Starting therapy with a stranger can be daunting, no matter your previous therapeutic experience. I aim to create a non-judgemental, empathic and deeply safe space for us to explore your inner world. I believe that, when we feel truly heard, understood and accepted in therapy, we can start to gain a deeper understanding of our thoughts, emotions and aspirations. In our sessions, we can reflect on past experiences, relationships, patterns of behaviour and your sense of identity, and work together to help you move towards the life you hope for.

My therapeutic practice is rooted in the person-centred centred approach, with your perspective at the core of the work. There are no feelings too “ugly”, “dark” or “messy” for the space, and I bring a candid, down-to-earth approach. Through continued professional development and my own life experiences, I strive to create spaces that are anti-racist, anti-ableist, trans- and LGBTQIA+ affirming, neurodiversity inclusive, class-aware, inclusive of ENM/polyamory, and acknowledging the societal contexts and systems that we are living within. My practice is also influenced by my work in the music industry, where I have witnessed and experienced firsthand the challenges that artists and creatives face (e.g financial and professional precarity, systemic injustices, a culture of silence, resistance to change).

I offer weekly sessions of 50 minutes, both for short and long-term work. I currently work both online and in person, and can offer Tuesday evenings sessions at in Morden. Please do get in touch if you are looking for in person sessions outside of this slot, as I may be able to offer an alternative arrangement.

I charge £50 per online session and £55 for in person. 

I am a registered member of the BACP, am registered with the Information Commissioners Office, and I have an enhanced DBS (on the update service).

I offer a free 20 minute video consultation call with my clients where we can see if we click, talk about logistics, and answer any questions you may have at this point.

In our first session together, we will go through an assessment and discuss in depth what has brought you to therapy at this point, and what you would like to achieve. We can agree a set number of sessions, or work open-open-endedly.
