About Rebecca
Rebecca Mcintosh is a counsellor who focuses on helping people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure how to move forward. She is calm and direct in sessions and aims to help clients clear the noise in their heads so they can make practical next steps. Rebecca holds BACP, which indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Her approach is person-centred, which means sessions start from what matters to the client rather than a fixed programme. She also draws on solution-focused techniques and mindfulness tools to help people notice small changes that make life easier. When trauma or past hurts are part of the picture, she uses trauma-focused methods to work through difficult memories at a pace each person finds manageable.
Rebecca has 12 years of professional experience and has spent time supporting people affected by cancer through work at Cancer Support. That experience informs how she helps people cope with illness, caregiving strain and the practical stresses that come with serious health problems.
She has worked with neurodivergent and disabled people and aims to adapt sessions to each person’s needs. Rebecca describes the counselling space as non-judgemental and compassionate, and she tailors sessions to what clients say they need in the moment.
Rebecca supports a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship issues, grief, addiction, codependency and mood difficulties such as bipolar and depression. Prospective clients should check the session formats currently offered before booking.
How Rebecca's approaches work in online therapy
Rebecca uses person-centred work to make sessions feel relevant to the person in front of her. This approach means the conversation starts from what matters to the client and follows their priorities, helping people feel heard and understood as they make decisions about change.She also uses solution-focused ideas that concentrate on small, practical steps. These techniques help clients spot what is already working and build on it, which can be useful for problems like anxiety, low mood or relationship tensions. Mindfulness practices are offered as short exercises to help manage strong feelings and to bring attention back to the present moment.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Rebecca will work collaboratively to choose methods that suit your needs, goals and personal preferences, and she is open to adjusting the plan as you go.
Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can help fit therapy into a busy life by avoiding travel time, making it easier to schedule around work or caring responsibilities, and allowing shorter check-ins when that is needed. It also permits the use of brief mindfulness exercises and solution-focused tasks between sessions to support progress.
