Counsellor - stress and trauma
See online counselling optionsAbout Rebecca
Counsellor and member of BACP, Rebecca Bennett has eight years of experience working in the United Kingdom with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, depression and life changes. She also focuses on divorce and separation, domestic violence, guilt and shame, life purpose and self-love.
Rebecca uses a person-centred way of working alongside trauma-focused methods. She listens and follows what the client brings. Sessions aim to make talking straightforward and to help people find practical ways to cope day to day.
She has worked as a therapist within a specialist counselling service for victims of sexual and domestic violence. That role has given her experience in supporting people after traumatic events and in dealing with the practical effects of abuse on relationships and wellbeing.
In sessions she helps people build a sense of steadiness. That can include looking at support networks and learning simple techniques to manage strong emotions and triggers. Techniques may include paced breathing, grounding tasks and other exercises drawn from trauma-focused approaches and cognitive behavioural ideas.
Rebecca integrates what she has learned from additional training with a person-centred base. She offers a calm, listening approach and introduces practical steps when they seem useful. To begin, readers should confirm the current session formats before booking and follow the service sign-up process to arrange a first meeting.
How client‑centred and trauma‑focused work fits online
Client‑centred therapy puts the person at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens closely and shapes sessions around what the client brings. This approach helps when people need space to talk about relationships, anxiety or life changes.Trauma‑focused therapy looks at the effects of traumatic events and practical ways to reduce distress. It can include grounding exercises, paced breathing and learning about how the body reacts to stress. This approach is often used for people dealing with abuse or other intense experiences.
Deciding the best approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and needs and will suggest ways of working that suit the person. That choice is revisited as therapy progresses so methods can be changed if needed.
The original biography does not list which session formats are offered. Before booking, check the current session options. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and travel. It also allows for shorter check‑ins or audio‑only sessions if that suits someone's routine or bandwidth. Registered or accredited professionals can offer these practical ways to keep therapy part of everyday life without needing to travel.
