About Rebecca

Rebecca Matthews is a BACP-registered counsellor who offers a calm, welcoming space for people to talk about what feels hard. She aims to help people clarify small, practical goals and take steady steps toward them. Sessions are delivered in English and she works from the United Kingdom.

Rebecca draws on person-centred counselling as her core approach, which means the conversation follows the client and focuses on what matters most to them. She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy techniques, and mindfulness when these fit the goals being discussed. These methods are offered alongside a focus on attachment and relationship patterns.

Her experience includes helping people navigate bereavement, low mood, anxiety, and relationship difficulties. Additional areas she pays attention to include feelings related to abandonment, codependency, shame and guilt, jealousy, intimacy concerns, and issues linked to narcissism. She also has experience supporting people with autism and Asperger syndrome.

In sessions she works in a straightforward, conversational way. Rebecca helps people name patterns, try small experiments, and build skills for managing distressing thoughts or strong emotions. She will work with each person to agree useful, realistic steps rather than promising quick fixes.

To begin, people are invited to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. After that, scheduling is arranged according to the therapist's availability and the service's booking flow.

How Rebecca's approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match your values. It can help with feeling stuck, anxiety and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours to reduce low mood and worry. It often uses practical exercises you can try between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and helps people understand how early connections shape current closeness and trust.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Rebecca will discuss your needs and goals and suggest approaches that fit your situation. Together you will decide what to try and make small, manageable plans to see what helps.

The biography does not state which session formats are used, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or letting you schedule shorter check-ins. It can also allow conversations to continue when circumstances make face-to-face meetings difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and mindfulness practices to work well in remote sessions, and Rebecca will tailor tasks so they suit your everyday routine.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
