About Rebecca

Rebecca Bennett is a BACP registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with eight years of professional experience. She works with people who feel overwhelmed, stuck or unsure after changes in work, relationships or health, and she lists life purpose among her focus areas.

Rebecca works from a person-centred stance, which means she listens without judgement and follows the client’s pace. She also draws on trauma-focused methods to help people who have experienced abuse or violence. Her day-to-day practice includes support for stress, anxiety, depression and coping with life changes.

In her clinical work she supports people affected by domestic violence and sexual violence as part of a specialist counselling service. She also helps those coping with divorce and separation, and people dealing with guilt, shame or questions about self-love.

When trauma is present she helps clients map their support network and build everyday stability. She may introduce simple techniques to manage emotions and triggers, and offers psycho-education and practical exercises that can include CBT-informed tools and ideas from polyvagal theory where useful.

Sessions are conversational and paced to the individual. Rebecca aims to help people clarify what matters next and to develop practical ways to handle stressors, while paying attention to safety and emotional regulation throughout the work.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's pace. It emphasises acceptance and open dialogue, which can help people clarify what matters next after job, relationship or health changes. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on recognising the impact of abuse and violence and on building stability and safety in daily life; it often involves mapping supports and learning practical emotion-management strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will collaborate with each person to decide what methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That might mean starting with person-centred conversations and then introducing trauma-focused techniques as trust and stability grow.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Different formats also suit different practical needs - for example a phone call can be useful when bandwidth is limited, while a video call allows visual cues. Registered or accredited professionals can work with you to find a setup that fits your life and daily routine.
