Rebecca "Becky" Messitt, BACP

Rebecca "Becky" Messitt is a BACP-registered integrative counsellor who supports adults aged 18 and older as well as young people from 7 to 18. She brings a warm, compassionate, and collaborative style to her work, creating an environment where individuals can explore difficulties, build confidence, and pursue meaningful personal growth. Being BACP-registered means she is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a recognised professional body for counsellors in the United Kingdom.

With young people, she focuses on the unique challenges of adolescence - the emotional shifts, identity questions, and relationship pressures that can feel overwhelming. She aims to offer a space where young people feel genuinely heard and free to express themselves, helping them name emotions, make sense of experiences, and develop resilience and self-assurance as they move toward independence.

For adults, her work centers on reflective exploration of how life events, relationship patterns, and past experiences shape current feelings and behaviors. Using an adaptable integrative framework, she draws on approaches such as Attachment Theory, Psychosocial Theory, Person-Centred Therapy, Existential ideas, and Jungian perspectives to tailor therapy to each person. By identifying what resonates, Rebecca helps clients deepen self-understanding and take practical steps toward change.

She is dedicated to building a therapeutic space in which every person feels valued and empowered to shape their own future. Taking the first step toward change is acknowledged as courageous, and she supports clients through that process with steady guidance and collaboration.
