About Rebecca

Rebecca Bennett is a counsellor who offers a warm, non-judgemental space for people feeling overwhelmed or stuck. She uses a client-centred approach to listen carefully and help people find their own direction. Her manner is calm and welcoming so people can talk freely and feel heard.

Rebecca has eight years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom. She currently works for an organisation that provides a specialist counselling service for victims of sexual and domestic violence as one of their therapists. Her background means she is familiar with the impact of traumatic experiences and the particular difficulties that follow.

She combines a Person Centred way of working with additional trauma-focused methods. That means sessions often begin by building a steady, supportive relationship and then move at a pace the person is comfortable with. For people who have experienced trauma, she explores support networks and focuses on creating stability.

When appropriate, Rebecca introduces practical techniques to help manage emotions and reduce reactivity. These may include simple psycho-education and exercises drawn from cognitive approaches and polyvagal theory, tailored to the individual. The emphasis is on short, usable strategies that fit into everyday life.

Rebecca invites people to work collaboratively on goals such as coping with anxiety, stress, relationship strain, loss, or changes like separation or divorce. She also offers support around guilt, shame, life purpose and building self-love. To begin, people choose the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire.

How client-centred and trauma-focused approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy centres on listening and understanding. The counsellor follows the person’s lead, reflecting back concerns and helping them make sense of their feelings. This approach is useful for people who want a calm, accepting space to talk through stress, relationships, life changes and emotional pain.

Trauma-Focused Therapy involves careful work to reduce the day-to-day impact of traumatic experiences. It includes exploring support networks, building a sense of stability and introducing practical techniques to manage emotions and triggers. This style can help people affected by domestic violence or sexual trauma and those struggling with shame or overwhelming memories.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will talk with the person about their needs, goals and preferences and decide together what to try first. Methods and pacing are adjusted as therapy progresses so the work fits the individual.

If you are considering online sessions, check the current session options before booking. Many people find remote work useful for fitting therapy into a busy week, keeping appointments that would otherwise be hard to reach and using short check-ins when needed. Online sessions can also make it easier to use breathing, grounding and short practical exercises during the day.
