About Rebecca
Rebecca Smith helps people with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression, and relationship or family difficulties. She uses different therapeutic models and works alongside clients to find practical ways forward. Rebecca is registered with NCPS and has 18 years of professional experience in the UK.
She offers straightforward, conversational counselling. Sessions focus on what is hard to carry right now and on practical steps that fit everyday life. Rebecca adapts her style to the person in front of her rather than following a single method.
Her work often addresses life changes, grief, parenting strain and career difficulties. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, codependency and communication problems. Rebecca pays attention to how past experiences can affect current reactions and relationships.
Rebecca draws on Client-Centred Therapy to make space for the client’s perspective, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. She also uses Psychodynamic ideas and Trauma-Focused methods where these help make sense of repeating patterns and intense reactions.
Sessions are conversational and focused on practical change as well as understanding. Rebecca aims to help clients reduce distress and improve day-to-day coping, one step at a time. To begin, people choose the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening to the client and reflecting what matters to them. It helps people clarify their feelings and priorities and is useful for many relationship and self-esteem concerns.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change patterns. It can help with anxiety, low mood and unhelpful coping habits.
Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses distressing past events and their lasting effects on daily life. It aims to reduce intense reactions and improve how people manage triggers and memories.
Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss different methods and agree a way forward based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and methods can be adjusted as progress is made.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, save travel time, or allow shorter check-ins where needed. Registered or accredited professionals often arrange appointments to suit work, family and daily routines.
