About Rebecca
BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). 25 years' experience. Rebecca Sutherland works with stress, anxiety, family issues, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions and relationship and intimacy concerns.
Rebecca offers counselling in English and accepts international clients. She draws on client-centred, psychodynamic and systemic approaches to help people understand patterns, feelings and relationships. Sessions focus on talking through current difficulties and past experiences that affect day-to-day life.
Her background includes one-to-one therapeutic work at a Rape Crisis Centre with victims of rape and adult survivors of child sexual abuse. She has also worked in an alcohol residential rehabilitation unit providing psychodynamic counselling and co-facilitating CBT-based personal development groups as part of a six-month intensive residential programme.
Rebecca has experience supporting people in a women's refuge and in mental health residential settings, often working with those affected by domestic and psychological abuse and related mental health difficulties. She has worked with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, post-traumatic stress, sexual assault, self-harm and addiction.
In sessions she adopts a respectful and sensitive manner. She aims to give time to reflect, build understanding and consider practical steps forward. Rebecca and the person she is counselling will work together to shape what they focus on and how therapy proceeds.

Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person and their experience. The counsellor listens and reflects to help the person express feelings and decide what matters most to them; this can help with anxiety, depression and relationship worries.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past experiences and relationships influence current feelings and behaviour. It aims to increase awareness of repeating patterns and how they affect present struggles such as attachment issues, trauma responses and relationship difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will discuss options and help decide what feels most useful based on goals and personal preferences. The choice of method can change over time as different issues come into focus.
Practical benefits of online counselling include making sessions easier to fit around work, study or family life and reducing travel time. Because the original biography specifies online counselling options, confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Registered or accredited professionals provide online appointments that let people keep therapy in their daily routine without needing to be at a particular location.
