About Rebecca
Rebecca Matthews offers calm, straightforward support for people facing relationship strain, loss, low self-esteem, anxiety and stress. She aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what is troubling them and set clear goals for change.
Rebecca works in a person-centred way, which means she places the client's experience at the heart of sessions and responds to what matters most to them. She also draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy when these are useful to meet a person's goals.
Her background includes six years of clinical practice. Rebecca has spent that time supporting people through bereavement, depression and difficulties linked to attachment and relationships. She also helps with issues such as panic attacks, shame, codependency and challenges around intimacy and commitment.
Rebecca is a BACP Therapist - Registered Member MBACP and works from the United Kingdom. She offers straightforward explanation of approaches and practical tools alongside open listening. The aim is to help people notice what matters, try small changes and build clearer ways of coping.
If someone wants to know more about how sessions run or which approach might suit them, Rebecca encourages questions before booking so people can feel comfortable about taking the next step.
Approaches that suit online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting the client's experience so they feel heard and understood; it helps when you want a therapist who follows your lead and builds sessions around your priorities. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical ways to notice thoughts and feelings without being ruled by them, which can help with anxiety, depression and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns of relating and can help people understand why they react strongly in close relationships and try different ways of connecting.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest methods that suit those needs. This is a collaborative process and may change over time as people notice what helps most.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify formats here. Many people find online sessions helpful because they fit more easily around work, childcare or travel and can reduce time spent commuting. Others prefer a shorter phone check-in when bandwidth is limited or a full video session for deeper conversation. Talk to the therapist about practical arrangements so sessions can fit into everyday life.
