About Rebecca
Rebecca Garside helps people facing relationship strains, parenting challenges, LGBT questions, family difficulties and major life changes. She introduces a calm, person-centred way of working so people feel heard and can start to make practical changes. Rebecca uses straightforward language and short sessions that focus on what matters to the individual.
Rebecca draws on 13 years of experience as a counsellor, registered with NCPS. She has spent much of her career supporting people who grew up in the care system and those affected by adoption, fostering and birth-family questions.
Background and approach
She also works with people experiencing abandonment, family of origin problems, and the fallout from separation or divorce. Her practice includes help for parents adjusting after children leave home and for people coping with later-life shifts such as menopause. Rebecca is an ally of the LGBT community and will listen without judgement to questions about coming out, sexual identity and gender identity.
She has also supported people with addiction issues, eating and body image concerns, and those managing emptiness or control and communication difficulties. Sessions are guided by client-centred principles, so the person’s goals shape the pace and focus of work. Rebecca aims to create a space where someone can talk through painful events and gradually build more stable routines and choices.
She works in a gentle, practical way to help people find day-to-day coping strategies. People who want to begin can expect a collaborative first meeting that clarifies needs and next steps. Rebecca welcomes international clients and conducts sessions in English, offering formats to suit different lifestyles and schedules.

Approaches Rebecca lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
In online sessions the same person-centred principles apply. The therapist will work with the client to decide what matters most and shape each session around those priorities. That collaborative process helps people try different ways of coping and monitor what does or does not help over time.
Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into daily life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual connection matters. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can suit a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging offer flexibility for people who prefer typing or need asynchronous contact. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt each format to suit the client’s goals, routine and comfort level.
