About Rebecca
BACP counsellor Rebecca Bennett has eight years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression and coping with life changes. Her practice also addresses divorce and separation, domestic violence, guilt and shame, life purpose and self-love.
Rebecca uses a client-centred approach alongside trauma-focused work. She aims to listen without judgement and to support people who feel overwhelmed, stuck or lost. Conversations concentrate on what matters most to the person in front of her and on practical steps to feel steadier day to day.
In practice she combines core person-centred principles with trauma techniques. That means exploring a person's support network and building stability after distressing experiences. Where helpful, she introduces practical exercises and psycho-education to manage emotions and reduce reactivity.
Some of the exercises Rebecca describes draw on cognitive behavioural ideas and Polyvagal theory as tools to regulate the body and mind. She adapts these techniques to each person's situation rather than using a fixed protocol. Sessions are aimed at tackling current problems and developing coping skills.
Rebecca has spent part of her career providing specialist counselling for victims of sexual and domestic violence. That experience informs how she works with safety, pacing and practical supports. Prospective clients should confirm the current session options before booking.
To begin, people are usually invited to describe their main concerns and practical goals. Rebecca then collaborates with them to decide the next steps and which techniques to try first.

How client-centred and trauma-focused work translates to online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy is built around listening and responding to what a person brings. The therapist focuses on understanding the person's perspective and offering reflective, non-judgemental responses to help them clarify feelings and goals. This approach helps with worries about relationships, low mood and life direction.Trauma-Focused Therapy targets the effects of past harm and aims to build safety and stability first. In practice this can mean slowing the pace, mapping supports, and introducing grounding or regulation exercises to manage triggers. This approach is used for trauma, abuse and related anxiety or depression.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. The choice of techniques and the pace of sessions are agreed together and reviewed as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, for example by avoiding travel, enabling a shorter check-in during a break, or offering an option that does not require being on camera. Registered or accredited professionals often use these practical benefits to maintain continuity of support while working on trauma-focused and client-centred goals.
