About Rebecca

Rebecca Bayliss is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, and other life changes. Her profile also notes work with codependency and related issues such as attachment difficulties and communication problems.

Rebecca follows approaches rooted in client-centred and psychodynamic thinking. Sessions begin with listening and helping people make sense of how past experiences link to current patterns. She pays attention to how feelings show up in the body as well as in thoughts and behaviour.

In practical terms she helps people who keep putting others first, struggle to say no, or feel stuck repeating the same relationship patterns. Conversations often include looking at attachment styles, longstanding coping strategies, and how emotions get expressed or avoided. Rebecca supports exploration of guilt, shame, abandonment fears and issues around control or dependency.

She sees therapy as a collaborative process. People work together to notice patterns, try different ways of responding, and practise new boundaries or communication skills between sessions. Rebecca also discusses when trauma-focused work may help and integrates that into ongoing therapy if it fits the person's needs.

Sessions aim to reconnect thoughts, feelings and bodily sensations so choices feel clearer. Practical steps and small experiments between meetings are used alongside talking. To start, clients complete a short questionnaire and then book a first session to agree goals and next steps.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Rebecca draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred work to guide online sessions. Attachment-based therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they shape current bonds and trust; it helps when people repeat familiar but painful relationship dynamics. Client-centred therapy focuses on careful listening and supporting someone to make their own choices; it helps people who are unsure how to set boundaries or speak up.

She treats finding the right approach as a shared task. During the first meetings she and the client review goals, past experiences and how distress shows up. Together they agree which methods to try and adjust the plan as therapy progresses so the work fits the person's needs and preferences.

Confirm the exact session options before booking, as formats are not listed in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to join from a place with fewer distractions or to avoid being on camera if that helps at first. Registered or accredited professionals can use these practical benefits to help therapy fit around everyday life without changing the clinical focus.
