Rebecca Gomperts, BACP

Rebecca Gomperts offers a warm, person-focused approach to counselling. She uses conversational, practical work to help people take small steps toward change. Rebecca aims to make the first step feel manageable and supported.

She draws on client-centred methods to listen closely and follow what matters most to each person. That means sessions often focus on what the client wants to change and on building the client’s own strengths. Motivational interviewing techniques are used when people want help finding the drive to change habits such as addictive behaviours.

Rebecca also brings existential ideas into sessions, helping people face big questions about meaning, purpose and choice. That can be useful for those feeling stuck, isolated or unsure about life direction. Mindfulness approaches are used to help with grounding and noticing unhelpful patterns in thoughts and emotions.

Her main areas of practice include addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem concerns. Additional focuses include abandonment, control issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation or loneliness, life purpose and building self-love. She adapts conversations and plans to each person’s situation.

Rebecca completed a first-class BA in Counselling at Sheffield Hallam University in 2024 and holds BACP. She is currently studying for an MSc in The Psychology of Coercive Control at the University of Salford. With three years of professional experience she continues to learn and refine her approach.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy puts your experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens closely and follows what matters most to you, helping you clarify goals and make decisions that fit your life. Motivational Interviewing focuses on building motivation and resolving mixed feelings about change, which can be especially useful for addictions or shifting habits.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and together you will try methods that suit you. That collaborative process means the plan can change as you learn what helps most.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, so it is possible to pick the way that fits your routine. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work with lower bandwidth and live chat or messaging let you check in between calls. These options make therapy more flexible for people juggling work, family or travel commitments.
