Rebecca Bayliss, BACP

Rebecca Bayliss is a BACP-registered counsellor and psychotherapist with four years' experience in the United Kingdom. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, parenting concerns, anger, self-esteem and life changes. Rebecca also supports people dealing with LGBT issues and a wide range of related concerns such as codependency, communication problems and forgiveness.

Rebecca trained to Masters level in counselling and psychotherapy and describes her primary approach as person-centred. In sessions she focuses on building a steady therapeutic relationship where a client can speak openly and be heard without judgement. She aims to help people explore their thoughts and feelings and to name what is going on for them.

Her work draws on attachment-based and psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat in relationships and within the self. Rebecca also uses trauma-focused approaches where past events continue to affect everyday life. She explains that emotional and physical symptoms can be linked, and looks at both together during therapy.

In practice she encourages clients to reconnect mind and body. That can include noticing bodily signals alongside thoughts and feelings, and then finding everyday activities that bring more satisfaction. Rebecca sees therapy as a place to make practical changes and to find clearer ways to manage emotions such as anger and frustration.

Sessions are presented as a place to talk through what is happening now, and to trace back how old patterns developed. People who come for support often work on improving communication, managing stress, and reducing repeated cycles that cause tension in relationships.
