Rebecca Gilmour, BACP

Rebecca Gilmour works in a pluralistic way, drawing on different evidence-based techniques to match what each person needs. She aims to make therapy straightforward and practical, helping people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or not quite themselves. Rebecca meets people where they are and keeps things calm and non-judgemental so conversations can begin easily.

She has three years of experience and uses that time to focus on the most immediate concerns a person brings. Common issues she helps with include stress, anxiety, low mood, addictions, relationship strain, and the effects of trauma or grief. Rebecca also supports people dealing with self-esteem, intimacy issues, eating concerns, parenting pressures, and career or life changes.

Sessions are collaborative and flexible. Rebecca explains options, listens to what feels useful, and adapts the approach as progress is made. She checks in regularly to ensure the work stays relevant and that goals reflect the person’s priorities.

Her style is practical and empathetic. Rebecca helps people identify patterns, try new ways of responding, and build skills to manage difficult emotions. The focus is on small, steady steps towards clearer thinking and greater self-acceptance.

Initial conversations are used to see if the fit feels right. Rebecca encourages people to start even when they do not have everything figured out, and she works at a pace that suits each individual.

How pluralistic therapy works online

Rebecca describes her approach as pluralistic, which means she draws on a few different evidence-based techniques and tailors them to what each person needs. One commonly used method involves practical skill-building to manage anxiety and stress, with clear steps people can try between sessions. Another strand focuses on understanding patterns in relationships and behaviour, helping people spot triggers and try alternative responses.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try different methods, and agree what feels most helpful. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress and preferences become clearer.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different routines. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help, phone sessions are useful if bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is preferred, and messaging or live chat can fit around busy days or provide regular brief contact. These options make it easier to attend sessions around work, family commitments and daily life.
