About Rebecca
Rebecca Matthews is a BACP therapist with six years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem, depression, stress and anxiety. She also supports those dealing with intimacy matters and life changes, including concerns linked to codependency and attachment.
Rebecca uses a person-centred foundation in sessions. That means conversations focus on what matters to the client and on building clarity about next steps. She combines this with practical techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and dialectical behaviour therapy when those approaches suit the issue being discussed.
In early meetings she helps people pin down specific goals and realistic steps to work towards them. Sessions often include learning coping strategies for panic, ways to manage intense emotions, and clearer ways to set boundaries or communicate needs. Practical exercises and brief skills practice may be suggested between sessions.
Rebecca has worked with bereavement and relationship loss, and with people who describe feelings of emptiness, guilt or shame. She also supports clients who are navigating difficult patterns such as people-pleasing, dependency or difficulty trusting others.
Her language is straightforward and sessions aim to be direct and practical. People wanting to begin are invited to ask questions about how she works and what to expect in the first session.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches you may use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and decide which values matter most to them. It often focuses on small actions you can take that match what you care about, which can help with anxiety, low mood and feeling stuck.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It can help people understand recurring difficulties with trust, closeness or dependency and consider different ways of relating to others.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will discuss client goals, preferences and practical needs and together you will agree what to try first. That collaborative process means approaches can be adjusted as progress and challenges become clearer.
Confirm the exact session options before booking to know which formats are available. Many people appreciate online sessions because they can fit appointments into a busy day, choose shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. If less screen time is preferable, that can be discussed as part of planning sessions so practical arrangements suit everyday life.
