About Rebecca
Rebecca Smith is a counsellor with 18 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting pressures and relationship or family difficulties. Rebecca also supports those coping with trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, anger and major life changes.
Rebecca uses a range of approaches because she does not believe one way fits everyone. She works in partnership with clients to find practical steps that feel doable.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on listening, understanding patterns, and trying small changes that can make daily life easier. Her way of working is straightforward and down to earth. She aims to create a calm space where people can talk without feeling judged.
Rebecca encourages honest conversation about feelings, behaviours and past events that still affect everyday life. Over her career she has helped people manage issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, codependency, communication problems and the strain of caregiving. She also supports those dealing with chronic illness or pain, body image worries, dissociation and separation or divorce.
Rebecca blends practical problem solving with deeper reflection. That might mean using cognitive techniques to change unhelpful thoughts one week and looking at personal history another week. The focus is always on what will help the person in front of her move forward.

How Rebecca brings therapies online
Rebecca commonly uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy together in online sessions. Client-centred therapy involves listening carefully and helping people find their own solutions, which can be useful for parenting stress, grief or low self-esteem. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviours, which often helps with anxiety, depression and anger.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest an approach or mix of approaches to try. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted over time based on what helps.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins and text messaging can fit into a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy around parenting, work and everyday life.
