About Rebecca

Rebecca Sutherland is a Registered Counsellor with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has more than 25 years of experience supporting people with stress, anxiety, depression and anger. She also works with people facing trauma, relationship strains and changes in family life.

Rebecca has worked in a range of settings over her career. She provided one-to-one therapeutic support at a Rape Crisis Centre for victims of rape and adult survivors of child sexual abuse. She also worked at an alcohol residential rehabilitation unit where she offered psychodynamic counselling and co-facilitated CBT-based personal development groups.

Her experience includes supporting people affected by domestic and psychological abuse, and helping those with complex mental health needs in a women’s refuge and a mental health residential setting. She has worked with issues connected to abandonment and attachment, addictions, and intimacy-related problems.

In sessions she uses approaches drawn from client-centred, psychodynamic and systemic therapy. That means talking in ways that look at current feelings, past patterns, and how relationships affect wellbeing. Rebecca aims to give clear time to understand what is happening and to help people notice patterns that maintain anger, anxiety or low mood.

Her practice accepts international clients and works in English. Costs vary by location and sessions are provided through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first appointment.

How sessions work

How Rebecca blends talking approaches for online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps with immediate feelings like anger or anxiety by giving space to describe what is happening now. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at repeating patterns and past experiences that influence present reactions. It can help when someone wants to understand why they keep getting stuck in the same responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and the two of you will decide together how to proceed. That means checking in on what helps and adapting the focus over time so sessions stay relevant.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a workday, or letting someone join from a quieter location. Registered or accredited professionals often use online work to maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult, and the same conversational approaches apply when sessions are held remotely.
