I am an Integrative Psychotherapist and Counsellor, with a holistic approach to therapy. I work with individuals in a personalised, collaborative way based on their needs, unique personal history, personality and goals.
We work together to help ease suffering by developing insight, learning helping tools, enhancing your relationship with yourself, and growing healthy relating skills.
This at times challenging, but ultimately enlivening and empowering work is done at your pace, with my support. I’m interested in understanding what it’s like to see life through your eyes, and I want to find out how we can work best as a team to reach your goals.
Hi, I’m Rebecca.
Psychotherapy can provide a supportive space where you and your story are understood, held and given time to transform. It works through a combination of relationship, clinical skill, continued care and collaborative effort.
Together we create a team that works to understand the origins of your issues, define your goals and desires, and work towards making positive change that helps you to live a fulfilling life, as every human being deserves to do.
This website provides a range of information about me, the way I practice, and psychotherapy in general. Feel free to explore, and get in touch if you’d like to start your journey now.
My Approach to Therapy is…
Holistic
You, as a whole-person, are multifaceted and unique. We work with the whole of you - body, mind and spirit; inner and outer; individual and societal; past, present and future. This holistic, integrative approach gives us the best chance of finding how to support your growth.
Welcoming of Diversity
We come from all walks of life, and we all see the world a little differently. Here, difference is respected and included - be it related to culture, race, age, religion, sexuality, neurodivergence, identity, or ability. My aim is to understand the unique you, your challenges and strengths, and to help create the conditions you need to work towards your goals.
Prioritising Safety
Safety is paramount, especially when trauma or loss is involved. Here, we create a gentle, collaborative space where we only move at your pace. Your voice is the most important, and we will work together to create an environment where you feel safe and empowered to speak.
