About Rebecca
Rebecca Garside is a person-centred counsellor who helps people manage relationship strains, parenting questions, identity concerns, and big life changes. She uses a warm, down-to-earth style to help clients talk through what matters most to them. Rebecca’s work is straightforward and focused on understanding each person's experience.
She has 13 years of experience supporting people through grief, loss and major life transitions. That experience includes working with people who have been in the care system and with questions around adoption, foster care and birth family identity. She is also an ally to the LGBTQIA+ community and can discuss coming out and gender or sexual identity concerns.
Rebecca has helped parents adjust when children leave home and has supported people facing later-life emotional changes, including those linked to menopause. Her sessions aim to make sense of difficult feelings and to find practical ways forward. She listens closely and follows the person's lead to build understanding.
Her approach is grounded in Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on the person's experience and aims to create a respectful, accepting space. In practice this looks like careful listening, reflective conversation and jointly thinking through next steps.
Finding a good fit matters, so Rebecca encourages an initial conversation to see if her style suits your needs. She invites people to talk about what they want to change and to work together on achievable steps.
How person-centred work translates to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience and emphasizes being heard without judgement. In practice this means the counsellor listens carefully, mirrors what they hear, and helps the person make sense of feelings and decisions. This approach is useful for relationship issues, identity questions and navigating life transitions.The process of finding the right approach is collaborative. The counsellor will check in about your needs, goals and preferences and adapt how sessions are run accordingly. Together you can decide whether the person-centred style feels like a good fit and what to try first.
