Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Rebecca draws on client-centered, psychodynamic and systemic ideas to inform online work with individuals and families. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's experience and creates a compassionate, non-directive space where people can explore their feelings and goals; it is useful for anxiety, low mood and growing self-understanding. Psychodynamic Therapy explores how past experiences and unconscious patterns influence current emotions and relationships, helping people address longstanding repeating difficulties such as attachment issues or responses to trauma. Systemic Therapy looks at relationships and family patterns, working with how interactions and roles shape problems like family conflict, parenting concerns and relationship strain.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Rebecca works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits best. She discusses aims, preferences and practical needs together with clients and adapts methods over time to align with their goals and changing circumstances.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family and location, and allow people to access registered professionals and therapists from wherever they are. The combination of tailored therapeutic approaches and flexible delivery supports continuity of care and practical access to ongoing support.
