Counselling with Rebecca
Coming into a counselling space is a brave decision but one that will benefit you for life. You may be considering counselling because you are at a point where you don’t want to continue in the way that you are living right now.
You are ready for something to change but not quite sure how to get there.
Within counselling this is something that we explore together. To untangle what binds you and help you on the path to freedom.
Supporting you to better mental health
​
As an integrative counsellor, I hold a safe and empathic space for you to explore the issues that you are experiencing.
It’s not easy to look at those difficult things in life sometimes. We can for years try to ignore those hard emotions, avoid looking at the things that have happened to us and our loved ones. When you are ready to, I’m here to help you look at them, providing a supportive framework in which we can gently explore and help you move forward.
You may be experiencing anxious thoughts or behaviours, or struggling to control your anger. You may feel isolated and as though no one really knows what’s going on inside. You may be struggling to process the events that have happened to you. You may be struggling in your relationships.
Together we look at this, and I support you to look deeper at what you are experiencing. Understanding what is causing the behaviours or physical symptoms that are occurring. Unpicking those thoughts or actions that may be harming yourself. I don’t judge, or diagnose, but walk along the path with you to help you feel more in control again of your own story.
As an integrative counsellor I draw on different disciplines to help us do our work together. Using counselling theories and practices to understand what you are experiencing and help you move forward.
I use a lot of creativity and nature based practices in my work as these can be helpful mediums to explore those more difficult things you feel. Everything is an invitation however. I would never tell you what you should or shouldn’t do, but offer different methods you may like to try.

My background and qualifications
Throughout my career I have always worked with people in helping professions. I began my career as an advocate, working with young people in care, ensuring they were listened to, and their rights respected.
​
I then moved into working in education and supporting teenagers at risk of being excluded.
This work exposed me first hand to how poor mental health was having a huge impact on
people’s lives. Wanting to do something to help, I trained as a mindfulness teacher and
started my journey to train as an integrative counsellor.
Years down the line, I’ve trained as a child and teen mindfulness teacher, trained in MBCT(Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy) and MBSR (Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction).
I’ve completed my Diploma in Counselling and specialised in working with trauma. I’ve completed further training in sound therapy, a variety of trauma approaches and creative counselling.
As well as counselling, I host group and 1:1 sessions offering relaxation and self-care. Hosting these events and retreats is an important part of my work. I’m passionate about creating spaces where people can focus on their own wellness.
I am fully insured and have a DBS check in place. I am a member of the BACP and follow their ethical guidelines, ensuring I work in a safe and professional manner.
