Rebecca Bayliss, BACP

Rebecca Bayliss works from a person-centred and psychodynamic perspective to help people make sense of painful feelings and stressful situations. She brings four years' experience to sessions and aims to build a calm, accepting space where people can speak honestly about what they are carrying. Rebecca uses approachable language and practical dialogue to help people take the next steps in their lives.

Rebecca's work focuses on stress, anxiety, depression and trauma and abuse, alongside relationship and family concerns. She also supports people dealing with grief, parenting strain, anger and self-esteem issues. Additional areas she addresses include abandonment, attachment issues, codependency and difficulties with communication and commitment.

In sessions she listens for patterns that link past experience to present problems and helps people notice how thoughts, feelings and body sensations connect. Sessions often combine open conversation with reflective questions that help people name what has been missed or pushed away. Rebecca believes recognising those links can reduce distress and open options for change.

Rebecca trained to Masters level in counselling and psychotherapy and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her background shapes a relational approach that values acceptance, curiosity and collaboration. She will work at a pace that suits the person in front of her.

Practical support is part of the work. Rebecca can help identify small, manageable steps to improve day-to-day coping. She also explores meaning, values and the activities that bring a greater sense of satisfaction and wellbeing.

How attachment and trauma work online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current ways of relating. It helps people notice patterns in closeness, trust and distance and can be useful for relationship difficulties, attachment issues and feelings of abandonment.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of sessions. The therapist offers acceptance and attentive listening while the person leads the pace and topics. This approach is helpful for low self-esteem, stress, anxiety and when someone needs a steady, non-judgemental listener.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Rebecca will explore what matters most to the individual and discuss which approaches feel like the best fit. Decisions about focus and pace are made collaboratively, and the plan can change as needs evolve.

Online sessions include video calls, phone appointments, live chat and text-based messaging, giving practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual connection matters. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Chat and messaging suit people who prefer typing or want more frequent, brief contact between longer sessions.
