About Rebecca
Counsellor Rebecca Gilmour is a BACP member with three years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She helps people who feel overwhelmed, anxious, low in mood, or uncertain about changes in their life. Rebecca also supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, grief, addiction concerns, and work-related stress.
Rebecca practises as a pluralistic counsellor. That means she uses a mix of evidence-based therapeutic techniques and chooses methods to fit the person she is working with. She checks in regularly so the sessions keep to the client's needs and goals rather than following a fixed plan.
Sessions focus on talking things through and finding practical ways to manage emotions. Rebecca helps people notice patterns in relationships and build self-confidence. She also works with grief, trauma and abuse, eating issues, anger, and aspects of identity such as LGBT matters.
Her style is collaborative and paced to the individual. Early meetings are used to see if the relationship feels like a good fit and to agree what to focus on next. The work is aimed at greater clarity and more useful ways of dealing with everyday pressures.
Rebecca offers sessions in English and works from within the UK. Before booking, clients are asked to complete a short questionnaire and then arrange a first session through the service's online process.
How therapeutic approaches guide online counselling
Rebecca describes herself as a pluralistic counsellor, which means she draws on several evidence-based techniques and chooses what fits the person in front of her. One common method used in pluralistic work is talking-based support that helps people understand patterns in relationships and behaviour, suitable for anxiety, low mood and relationship concerns. Another approach often included is skills-focused work that teaches practical ways to manage emotions and cope with stress, useful for anger, work strain and day-to-day overwhelm.Deciding which approach to use is part of the process. Rebecca will work collaboratively with the client to agree goals and check in regularly about what is helpful. She adjusts methods as progress is made so the plan stays relevant to the client's needs and preferences.
The practical benefits of online counselling can include fitting sessions into a busy week and having therapy without travel. If you plan to proceed, please confirm which session formats are currently available before booking because the biography does not list them. Registered or accredited professionals commonly offer online options that can make regular appointments easier to manage and reduce time spent travelling.
