About Rebecca
BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. 3 years' experience as a practising counsellor. Rebecca Lazaro works with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, and LGBT concerns using person-centred and related approaches.
Rebecca uses a person-centred style that keeps the client in control of session pace and topics. She listens without judgement and focuses on feelings, beliefs and recurring themes. Sessions aim to help people make sense of their thoughts and reactions so they can choose different ways of responding.
Her approach can include attention to attachment patterns and emotional processing. She may introduce ideas from emotionally-focused work to look at relationship patterns, and psychodynamic perspectives to consider how past experiences affect present behaviour. Rebecca can also draw on somatic ideas when trauma is discussed, helping people notice how emotions affect the body.
She describes person-centred counselling as often taking time, and recommends at least eight sessions for lasting change. Rebecca does not promise quick fixes and notes that some people seeking directive techniques such as CBT may prefer a different counsellor.
Before training as a therapeutic counsellor she spent many years in roles supporting people with mental health issues, addiction and residential care. That background informs her interest in working with complex trauma and relationship difficulties.
Sessions are offered in English and are based in the United Kingdom. When contacting the service, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Rebecca often uses person-centred work which focuses on the client leading session pace and topics while the counsellor reflects and clarifies feelings and beliefs. This approach helps with anxiety, depression and life stress by encouraging self-understanding and clearer decision making.She also draws from emotionally-focused ideas to look at patterns in relationships and attachment-based thinking to consider how early bonds influence current reactions. These perspectives are useful when relationship problems or trauma are part of what a person brings to sessions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss the client's goals and preferences and suggest what to try first, then adjust based on how well it fits. This is a collaborative process and may change over several meetings.
Practical benefits of remote counselling can include easier fitting of sessions around work or family life and the option of shorter check-ins when needed. The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can offer online counselling that uses approaches such as person-centred and emotionally-focused work to support people in addressing stress, relationships and trauma.
