About Rebecca
Rebecca Matthews is a BACP therapist who helps people dealing with relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem and anxiety. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk about what is worrying them. Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at making it easier to take the next step.
Rebecca works with issues such as depression, stress, intimacy-related concerns and the impact of life changes. She also focuses on attachment issues, abandonment, codependency and problems around commitment and communication. People bringing experiences of infidelity, loneliness, panic attacks or feelings of emptiness will find these topics are within her practice.
Her approach is person-centred, which means conversations are shaped around what matters to the individual. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques and dialectical behaviour ideas where these might help change thinking patterns and coping skills. Mindfulness strategies are offered to help with grounding and managing strong emotions.
With six years' experience, Rebecca aims to set clear goals with each person and to agree practical steps to reach them. She invites people to discuss what they hope to get from counselling and to adjust the plan as they go.
Sessions are conducted in English and take place in the United Kingdom. To begin, people are asked to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule appointments according to therapist availability.
How approaches guide online counselling
The person-centred approach focuses on listening and understanding. It gives people space to talk about what is most important to them and to set goals at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, or DBT, adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving how someone copes day to day.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Rebecca will discuss the aims, preferences and challenges a person brings and then agree which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is made.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to meet in person while they try talking with a therapist. Registered or accredited professionals can help map out practical arrangements so sessions fit into everyday life.
