About

About Rebecca

Rebecca Briggs is a NCPS counsellor working in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, trauma and abuse, anger, career concerns, and life changes. Rebecca also supports those dealing with compassion fatigue and related difficulties.

She uses straightforward talking and listening as the basis of her work. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on practical ways to reduce overwhelming thoughts and reactions. Rebecca draws on approaches such as attachment-based work, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural ideas, emotionally-focused techniques and existential thinking to shape conversations.

In practice she aims to make it easier to talk about painful feelings. People often bring anger, loss, or stuck patterns to sessions. Rebecca helps people name what they feel and try different ways of responding when feelings run high.

Her background includes a Bachelor of Science First Class (Honours) in counselling and six years working in therapeutic roles. She describes creating an open environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment.

Rebecca asks clients to take practical steps in and between sessions. That can mean short behavioural experiments, simple breathing or grounding checks, or reflecting on relationship patterns. The emphasis is on steady, usable changes rather than quick fixes.

How sessions work

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based approaches look at patterns people form in important relationships. Online conversations can help surface those patterns and how they affect anger, grief and trust, and guide small changes in relating to others. Client-centred work means the therapist listens and follows what matters to the client, using open questions and reflection to clarify feelings and goals. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and often uses brief exercises and practical experiments that can be set between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit best based on their concerns, goals and preferences. That shared decision-making helps keep sessions focused on what the client wants to change or understand.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins around work breaks, video where visual cues help, or phone sessions when bandwidth is limited. These practical choices can reduce travel and help people keep consistency with appointments.
