About Rebecca Barley Hawkins
She offers a welcoming, non-judgmental space where clients can explore life events and the emotions, thoughts and behaviours they produce. Rebecca recognises that everyone responds to difficulties in their own way and that an external supportive relationship can be invaluable when someone feels stuck, overwhelmed, or isolated. Talking with a practitioner outside of day-to-day relationships can help people feel genuinely heard and understood.
Her work covers a range of concerns including stress and anxiety, depression, grief, childhood issues, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and confidence, and gender dysphoria. She also focuses on related challenges such as abandonment, communication problems, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, questions about life purpose, panic attacks, self-love, social anxiety and young adult issues.
Rebecca has experience with both neurotypical and neurodivergent clients and aims to build a trusting therapeutic relationship grounded in warmth, understanding and integrity. She practices in a non-directive way, giving clients the freedom to lead exploration at a pace that feels comfortable while supporting them to address past and present issues and to develop personal autonomy over time. She holds the BACP credential, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Non-directive and Evidence-Based Support Online
Rebecca uses a non-directive counselling approach that puts the client at the centre of the process, creating space for individuals to explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace. This method is helpful for people who want an empathic, client-led way to examine relationship issues, questions of identity, and emotional responses that stem from past or current events.Alongside a non-directive stance, Rebecca draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and low self-esteem. These techniques focus on identifying patterns in thoughts, feelings and behaviours and developing practical ways to manage symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning, making them suitable for a wide range of concerns including panic attacks, social anxiety and relationship difficulties.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. A registered professional will work with clients to identify the best fit for their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting methods over time as progress unfolds. Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to access consistent support around work, family and life commitments, and can help maintain continuity of care when in-person options are limited.
