How Rebecca’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The counsellor reflects what the client says and helps them find their own solutions, which is useful for worries about self-esteem, grief and relationship issues.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and everyday actions. It helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and test small changes in habits that improve mood and daily functioning.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. Its practical skills work can be useful for coping with overwhelming feelings and building calmer routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will talk with each person about goals and preferences and together they will choose or blend methods that fit best. The process is collaborative and adjusted as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around family life, work breaks or commute times, and it can allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered and accredited professionals, including counsellors, often adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions so people can keep building better habits between meetings.
