Rebecca "Becca" Mather, BACP

Rebecca "Becca" Mather offers support for stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, parenting strain and coping with life changes. She helps people who feel burnt out, overwhelmed by thoughts, or stuck by low mood. Becca aims to provide a warm, non-judgemental space where people can be heard and begin to make themselves a priority.

Becca draws on four years of professional practice and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She uses straightforward tools such as mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to help people manage daily challenges and find small, practical steps forward. Sessions are collaborative and paced around each person’s needs.

In sessions she listens first, then helps people clarify goals and try accessible strategies. That might mean learning simple mindfulness exercises, noticing unhelpful patterns, or testing actions that change how a day goes. Becca avoids pressure and treats every suggestion as an invitation rather than a requirement.

She has a particular interest in issues around pregnancy and early motherhood, including postnatal anxiety and postnatal depression, and supports people impacted by difficult pregnancies or severe pregnancy sickness. She also works with concerns linked to relationships, sleep, anger, career matters and compassion fatigue.

Practical matters such as session format and pacing are agreed together. Becca aims to help people feel more able to tackle what once felt unmanageable and to build small changes that add up to lasting improvement.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then identify values and small actions that move life in a meaningful direction. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with big life changes.

Client-Centred Therapy - this approach focuses on listening with empathy and treating each person as the expert on their own life. It supports people who need a steady, non-judgemental space to make sense of feelings and decisions.

Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they decide which approaches to try and adjust them as progress is made, so sessions remain collaborative and tailored.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction when that helps, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suits shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or mobility constraints and can support steady progress over time.
