About Rebecca
Rebecca Matthews is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with six years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety and stress. She also helps people facing intimacy-related problems and those coping with life changes.
Rebecca keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens to what is worrying a person, helps set clear goals and discusses steps to reach them. When useful, she draws on techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy and mindfulness alongside a client-centred way of working.
Her work often focuses on attachment and abandonment concerns, and on improving communication and boundaries. She supports people who feel isolated, overwhelmed by guilt or shame, or who are coping with infidelity or jealousy. Rebecca also has experience with issues related to autism and Asperger syndrome and with panic and panic attacks.
Sessions aim to help people notice patterns, practise different ways of responding and build small habits that reduce distress. Conversations are paced to suit the individual and ideas are tried out between sessions where that could help progress. Practical strategies and reflection are mixed depending on the person’s needs.
Rebecca offers therapy in English and works with adults based in the UK. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session so they can talk through next steps.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Rebecca commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside a client-centred approach. ACT encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings and deciding what matters most, then taking small actions that align with those values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and aims to build more secure ways of relating.Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss the client’s goals and preferences and try methods that suit how the person likes to work. Decisions about techniques are made together, and can change as progress is made.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online work helps fit sessions into everyday life because it reduces travel, allows shorter check-ins between other commitments and can be scheduled around childcare or work breaks. Rebecca aims to help clients use practical exercises and brief skill practice that fit into daily routines, making it easier to try new ways of coping between meetings.
