Rebecca Mcintosh, BACP

Rebecca uses a person-centred way of working that puts the client's priorities first. This approach is about listening closely and helping people choose the pace and topics that matter to them, which can be helpful for issues like low mood, relationship concerns and self-esteem.

She also uses mindfulness techniques to help manage stress and anxiety. Mindfulness in sessions involves simple practices and breathing or attention exercises that aim to reduce overwhelm and increase calm in daily life.

When suitable, solution-focused methods are used to identify small, achievable steps that move a person towards their goals. This practical focus helps with coping during life changes, relationship problems and day-to-day stresses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then agree a plan together. That collaborative choice means approaches can change as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a simpler check-in, and live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter reflections or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or health commitments and offer different ways to stay in touch between sessions.
