About

About Rebecca

Rebecca Gilmour is a pluralistic counsellor with three years' experience. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or not quite themselves. Rebecca aims to make the first sessions simple and approachable so people can see whether they feel comfortable working together.

Rebecca works with common problems such as anxiety, low mood, stress at work, and relationship difficulties. She also supports people facing grief, trauma and abuse, struggles with addiction, and questions around identity, including LGBT matters.

Background and approach

Many clients seek help to understand patterns in their relationships or to rebuild self-esteem and emotional control. Her pluralistic approach means she draws on a range of evidence-based techniques and adapts them to each person. Sessions focus on what helps the individual most, with regular check-ins so the work stays relevant and practical.

People are encouraged to set goals and to take steps between sessions that feel manageable. Rebecca places emphasis on the therapeutic relationship. She aims to create an environment where clients feel heard and accepted, and where they can explore difficult feelings without judgement.

Progress is approached at a pace that suits each person. Sessions take a collaborative tone. Rebecca listens first, then offers options and ways forward that fit the client’s needs.

Online support

How pluralistic practice and online working meet

Rebecca identifies as a pluralistic counsellor, which means she draws on more than one evidence-based technique and chooses what fits the person in front of her. For example, she may use structured strategies to help manage anxiety and low mood, offering practical steps to regain emotional control and build confidence. She can also employ relational and reflective methods that help people understand patterns in relationships and process grief or trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca treats the choice of method as collaborative and will discuss options with each client. Together they decide what feels most useful, and adapt the plan as progress is made or new needs emerge.

If you are considering online therapy, check the session options before booking to confirm which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a quieter arrangement that fits around work or family commitments.
