Rebecca Dickinson, BACP

Rebecca Dickinson aims to help people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or exhausted. She meets each person with calm attention and practical support. Rebecca keeps language simple and focuses on what matters right now for the client.

She has worked in counselling for 10 years and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Rebecca uses that experience to guide conversations and help people find manageable next steps. She adapts pace and approach to suit each person's life and needs.

Rebecca offers help for stress and anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief and bereavement, and eating and addiction concerns. She also supports people dealing with sleep problems, parenting pressures, anger, low self-esteem and career worries. Other areas she covers include post-traumatic stress, self-harm, sexual assault, and compassion fatigue.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. Sessions focus on understanding what is causing distress, building coping skills, and trying small changes that add up. Rebecca pays attention to attachment, codependency, communication problems and the impact of family dynamics.

People working with Rebecca can expect a mix of practical strategies and space to talk through painful experiences. She aims to make progress feel achievable and relevant. Moving forward is framed as a step-by-step process, chosen together by client and counsellor.

Therapeutic approaches that work well online

Rebecca draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear goals and practical change. One common approach uses structured conversations to identify patterns of thought and behaviour that keep problems going and then tests simple changes to reduce symptoms and increase calm. This method is helpful for anxiety, stress, sleep problems and low mood.

Another useful technique centres on processing traumatic memories safely and pacing discussion so it feels manageable. This helps people who have experienced abuse, assault, or other traumatic events to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. A further strand of her work looks at relationships and attachment patterns to improve communication and set healthier boundaries.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will discuss options with each person and agree on a plan based on their goals, preferences and how they respond in early sessions. This collaboration helps shape whether the focus stays short term or becomes a longer process.

Online therapy offers flexibility that suits busy lives. Video calls let people use visual cues and a more conversational style, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a break at work, and live chat or text messaging can be useful for shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier. These formats make it simpler to maintain continuity and access support from different locations.
