About Rebecca

Rebecca Matthews is a BACP-registered counsellor who helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by relationship problems, grief, low self-esteem or anxiety. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk through what matters to them and set clear, practical goals for change.

Rebecca uses a person-centred way of working that keeps the client’s experience at the centre of each session. She also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas and elements of dialectical behaviour approaches when they suit the person’s needs. These methods are used to help with mood, stress and coping strategies.

Over six years she has supported people facing bereavement, attachment concerns and intimacy-related difficulties. She also works with issues such as panic attacks, feelings of emptiness, shame and difficulties with communication or commitment. Codependency and related patterns are part of her wider focus on relationship dynamics.

Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical. Expect to explore patterns that keep problems going and to develop small changes that make daily life easier. Rebecca encourages a steady pace and checks in about goals as therapy progresses.

Rebecca practises in the United Kingdom and works in English. If a reader wants to know more about how she works or session arrangements, they are invited to use the site's Start Therapy button to begin the matching process.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Rebecca blends person-centred work with cognitive behavioural and acceptance-based ideas. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and reflecting a person’s experience, helping them feel heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and gives practical tools to reduce anxiety or low mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages noticing difficult feelings and committing to small actions that match a person’s values.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Rebecca will work together with the client to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. She checks in about what is or isn’t helpful and adapts the work as therapy progresses so the approach fits the person, not the other way round.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so readers should confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or travel, reduce time spent commuting, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Registered and accredited professionals often use online sessions to maintain continuity of care and to reach people who find remote access more practical.
