About Rebecca

Rebecca Lazaro works on stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, depression and LGBT-related concerns using a Person-Centred approach. She describes her role as someone who listens without judgement and helps people make sense of their thoughts, feelings and behaviours. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and has three years' experience as a counsellor.

Rebecca sees therapy as a collaborative process. Sessions focus on what the client brings and the pace the client sets. She listens for recurring themes, feelings and beliefs, and gently encourages new awareness so people can find ways forward that suit them. She says Person-Centred work usually needs time and that around eight sessions is often a useful starting point.

She may draw on other approaches when helpful. This can include looking at attachment patterns in relationships, reflecting on adverse childhood experiences, and considering how the nervous system affects emotional regulation. She also uses ideas from Emotionally-Focused and psychodynamic ways of working when they add clarity.

Rebecca has formal training in counselling and psychology, plus certificates in trauma-informed practice, somatic approaches for complex trauma, family and relationship work, and emotion-focused work for couples. Her background includes work in clinical and residential settings and in addiction recovery services.

Sessions are conducted in English. Rebecca identifies as mixed race and as a member of the LGBTQ+ community, and she draws on a broad range of past work supporting adults and young people with mood, trauma-related and addiction difficulties.

How her approaches work in online counselling

Rebecca commonly uses Person-Centred work and Attachment-Based ideas in her practice. Person-Centred counselling focuses on listening and supporting a person to understand their own feelings and choices; it suits people who want reflective, client-led sessions. Attachment-Based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can help with recurring relationship difficulties and trust issues.

She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas when helpful, which concentrates on emotions in close relationships and how to change unhelpful interaction patterns. Each approach is described plainly during early sessions so the client can see what might help most for their situation.

Rebecca treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels manageable, and then agree a way of working together. This may mean starting with Person-Centred sessions and introducing other methods later if they seem useful.

The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so please confirm available formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into everyday life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or avoiding being on camera when that helps concentration.
