About Rebecca
Rebecca Smith is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has 18 years of experience in the United Kingdom. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and anger. She also helps people with relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting strain and career pressures.
Her approach draws on several recognised models rather than a single method. Rebecca describes working in partnership with clients to reduce the burden they carry. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear conversation about what is causing distress.
Rebecca uses Client-Centred Therapy to prioritise the person's own perspective, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test different behaviours. She also draws on Psychodynamic ideas to look at longer-standing patterns and Trauma-Focused methods when past harm is a central issue.
People who meet with Rebecca can expect a straightforward style. She encourages honest talk about frustrations, anger, and resentment, and looks for realistic ways to manage reactions and repair relationships when possible. The work aims to make difficult feelings easier to handle in day-to-day life.
Her background includes nearly two decades supporting adults through life changes and complicated emotions. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a first session to begin practical work together.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Rebecca blends Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in ways that suit talking through anger and stress. Client-Centred Therapy means the therapist listens closely to the person's experience and helps them find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of responding to triggers.She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy when past harm is a central concern, working carefully to reduce reactivity and strengthen coping skills. These approaches aim to make conversations practical and actionable, whether the focus is on current problems or past events that still affect daily life.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and help decide which approaches fit the client's aims and preferences. This is a collaborative process that evolves as the person progresses.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Discuss format and timing during the matching questionnaire and the first session to find what works in everyday life.
