Rebecca Bennett, BACP

Rebecca Bennett uses a person-centred way of working that puts the person's experience at the heart of sessions. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk about feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or lost. Rebecca is based in the United Kingdom and has eight years of experience as a counsellor. She holds BACP which indicates her professional registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

She has worked as a therapist in a specialist service for victims of sexual and domestic violence, which gives her focused experience with trauma and abuse. Rebecca mixes person-centred practice with trauma-focused methods so conversations are shaped around what the individual finds most helpful. Sessions can include practical strategies to manage triggers and strong emotions.

When trauma is part of the story, she works on building a sense of stability and checking what supports are already in place. Where appropriate, Rebecca introduces straightforward techniques and short exercises to help people cope between sessions. She explains things plainly and uses teaching moments to make ideas usable in everyday life.

Rebecca also helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, depression, life changes, divorce and separation, and feelings of guilt or shame. She supports people exploring life purpose and developing greater self-love. Her approach aims to be collaborative, paced to each person's needs, and focused on what matters most now.

To begin, a simple matching process is used so people can find a therapist who fits their needs and preferences. Rebecca invites anyone who wants to talk to take the first step and complete the brief questionnaire to arrange sessions.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy is about listening and following the person's lead. The counsellor offers empathy and acceptance so the person can speak freely and find their own solutions. This approach helps when someone needs a steady, respectful space to make sense of feelings and choices.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on the effects of traumatic experiences and on building safety and stability. It involves practical steps to manage strong emotions and reduce the impact of triggers, and is often paired with simple exercises to practice between sessions. This approach can assist people dealing with abuse, domestic violence, and other distressing events.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The counsellor will work together with the person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That decision is reviewed over time so work can shift if something else feels more helpful.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful for face-to-face conversation; phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited; live chat and messaging suit short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to use approaches consistently between sessions.
