About Rebecca
Counsellor Rebecca Briggs, NCPS, has six years' experience supporting people in the United Kingdom with stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem and depression. She works with adults who are coping with big life changes and career pressures as well as feelings that come from trauma and abuse. Rebecca also notices patterns linked to compassion fatigue and problems such as anger or obsessive thoughts.
She offers a straightforward, talk-based approach. Sessions focus on understanding what is happening now and on practical steps people can try between meetings. Rebecca uses talking methods that encourage reflection on relationships and on how past experiences shape current feelings.
Rebecca combines attachment-based ideas with client-centred listening. That means she pays attention to relationship patterns and aims to follow the client’s pace. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used where thoughts and behaviours are causing distress, for example with anxiety, phobias or obsessions.
People come to her for help with grief, end-of-life concerns and the complex mix of emotions that follow loss. She also works with issues such as jealousy, abandonment, self-harm thoughts, post-traumatic stress and co-morbidity, helping clients break down problems into manageable steps.
Her background includes a BSc First Class (Honours) degree in counselling and registration with NCPS. Rebecca speaks English and accepts international clients. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How therapy approaches are used online
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect present feelings and behaviour. Online sessions can focus on recognising those patterns and trying out different ways of relating in day-to-day life. This can help with issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns and relationship stress.Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre. The counsellor listens without directing and helps people make sense of their thoughts and feelings. This approach can be useful for low mood, grief and adjusting to change.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy targets thought and behaviour patterns that maintain problems. It tends to be practical and task-focused, with exercises to try between sessions for anxiety, phobias or obsessive thoughts.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and agree a plan together. That collaborative process helps decide whether more conversational listening or structured CBT tasks are most helpful.
Please confirm which session formats are offered before you book, as formats are not specified in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits the client.
