About Rebecca

Rebecca Smith is an NCPS counsellor in the United Kingdom with 18 years of professional experience. She works with adults who carry heavy emotional loads and want to make practical changes. Common concerns she sees include stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family difficulties, low self‑esteem and codependency.

She uses several therapy models rather than a single approach. Sessions are collaborative and focused on finding ways to reduce overwhelm and move forward. Conversations are straightforward and aim to make problems more manageable rather than relying on jargon.

Rebecca offers work on boundary setting, communication problems and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with grief, parenting stress, career challenges and chronic health issues. Where attachment or abandonment worries are part of the picture, she helps look at how past patterns affect current relationships.

Her practice can include short-term, solution-focused steps alongside deeper psychodynamic work when people want to understand long-standing patterns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques are used to address anxiety, mood and unhelpful thought cycles. Trauma‑focused methods are drawn on when past harm continues to cause distress.

People who find it hard to say no or who feel they lose themselves in relationships will find sessions that address decision points and practical skills. Rebecca aims to balance exploration of feelings with clear, workable strategies. To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the online booking flow.

How sessions work

Working online with common therapy approaches

Client‑Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities. A counsellor listens and helps people clarify their own goals and next steps, which can be useful for codependency and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. It uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful patterns, so people can test new ways of reacting and build confidence. The therapist will work with the person to decide which approach or mix of approaches fits best. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs and goals become clearer. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, for example by saving travel time or allowing a shorter check‑in during a lunch break. Different practical arrangements have different trade‑offs, so confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can still use the same therapeutic tools online as they do in person, adapting exercises, reflection and goal setting to the format chosen.
