About Rebecca
Rebecca Matthews is a BACP-registered counsellor who offers a calm, non-judgemental way to talk about what is worrying you. She frames sessions around your needs and helps set clear, manageable goals. Her approach aims to make talking feel straightforward and practical.
She works with people dealing with relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem, depression, stress and anxiety. Rebecca also supports those navigating intimacy concerns, family issues, and life transitions. Her practice includes attention to LGBT concerns and related challenges.
Background and approach
Rebecca combines a person-centred style with practical techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy and mindfulness where these are helpful. She pays particular attention to attachment and abandonment issues and to the emotional impacts of infidelity, isolation and shame.
Over six years she has worked with people facing panic attacks, communication problems, codependency and traits linked to avoidant or dependent personality patterns. She also has experience with autism and Asperger syndrome. Sessions aim to build small steps towards clearer thinking and steadier coping.
If you have questions before booking, Rebecca invites you to reach out and ask about how she works. The site’s Start Therapy button begins a short matching questionnaire that leads to scheduling according to her availability.

How Rebecca’s approaches translate to online therapy
Rebecca uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values rather than getting stuck. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression and when life feels overwhelming.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early and current relationships shape feelings and behaviour. This can help people who struggle with abandonment, codependency or repeated patterns in relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Rebecca will talk with you about your goals, needs and what feels most useful. She aims to agree a plan that blends person-centred listening with practical exercises where helpful.
Please confirm the session formats Rebecca currently offers before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let you use written or video-based exercises and practise mindfulness or CBT techniques between meetings.
