About Me

I am based in Manchester City Centre offering face to face and online counselling.

My name is Rebecca. I studied Counselling and Psychotherapy at the University of Salford. I volunteer at Mind as a Counsellor. I am a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy. This is the recognised body for Counselling. It means I practise to an ethical framework and standard.

I am always seeking to learn more about how to practice in a more effective way for my clients and my reading material always includes something to anchor me in my practice.  Whilst Carl Rogers is a go to source, I also find people like Janet Tolan’s book on Skills in Person Centred Counselling and Psychotherapy a constant help in keeping me tethered to my practice and will often open it before a session to place me ready to offer therapy.

I find inspiration on how to practice from Gestalt therapy and also Internal Family Systems which allows me to bring a very specific support to clients, when required. It can often release insights not always consciously known to the client but essential for moving forward.  If I have a client with addiction issues I find Gabor Mate – In the realm of Hungry Ghost – gives me the ability to draw out the compassion needed by the client for themselves.

Whatever you bring, my practice is to understand what you need and respond to you.
