About Rebecca

Rebecca Garside is a person centred counsellor who helps people with work and wellbeing concerns, relationships and family struggles. She supports those facing coming out and identity questions, coping with life changes, and parenting challenges. Beck helps people find steady ways forward when everyday life feels hard.

She has 13 years of experience working with a wide range of ages. That includes people who have been through the care system and those coping with adoption, foster care and family of origin issues. She also supports people dealing with loss, grief and the emotional effects of life stages such as menopause and the empty nest.

Rebecca is an ally of the LGBTQIA+ community and talks openly about sexual and gender identity. She addresses practical relationship issues such as communication, commitment and blended family dynamics. She also works with concerns around addiction, domestic violence, body image and eating-related issues.

Her approach is rooted in Client-Centred Therapy, which means sessions focus on the person and their experience. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps people find their own solutions. Sessions aim to be respectful and paced to each person’s needs.

Starting therapy involves looking for a good match and setting realistic goals together. Rebecca encourages a collaborative working style so people feel able to explore difficult feelings and make steady change. If her approach feels right, clients can arrange a first meeting and see how it goes.

How Rebecca's person centred approach works online

Client-Centred Therapy centres on listening and understanding the person as they are. The therapist offers non-judgemental support and helps the client reflect on their feelings. This approach can be useful for relationship concerns, identity questions and coping with life changes.

Rebecca will work with each person to find the best way forward. She treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process and discusses goals, preferences and what feels helpful. Together they decide how to pace sessions and what to focus on over time.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around a busy schedule and avoiding travel time, which can help sustain regular attendance. Online contact can also make it easier to have a shorter check-in when needed or to choose options that suit energy levels and bandwidth. The profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use online work to make therapy more accessible and to help people keep therapy going alongside work and family life.
