Rebecca "Becca" Mather , BACP

Rebecca "Becca" Mather welcomes people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties or the many challenges that come with life transitions. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental presence and aims to create space for people to feel heard and supported. Having drawn on her own therapy experiences, she recognises how important the therapeutic match can be and focuses on building a warm, accepting environment where clients can explore thoughts and feelings without interruption.

Becca works with a broad range of concerns including anxiety, depression, loneliness, coping with change, sleep problems, anger and career stress. She has a particular interest in perinatal mental health and supports women through pregnancy and early motherhood, including experiences of difficult pregnancy, postnatal depression, postnatal anxiety and hyperemesis gravidarum. Her practice also includes work with parenting and family issues, relationship and communication problems, ADHD and compassion fatigue.

In sessions she offers practical tools alongside compassionate listening, using mindfulness and Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT or tapping) when appropriate. She treats every technique as an invitation rather than a requirement, so clients only try approaches that feel right for them. Becca is a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which signals her commitment to professional standards and continued development.

She aims to help people set realistic goals, make sense of difficult patterns and take small, manageable steps toward greater wellbeing. For many clients this work leads to increased confidence, more balanced thinking and a renewed ability to face daily demands with less overwhelm. Please note she currently does not have availability for evening sessions.

Online therapy using ACT, client-centred care and mindfulness

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and learn flexible ways to respond to difficult thoughts and emotions rather than getting stuck in avoidance. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and difficulty coping with life changes. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on providing empathetic, nonjudgmental support so that clients feel understood and are able to explore their own solutions at their own pace - this approach supports growth in self-esteem, relationships and decision-making. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and awareness practices that help reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which can benefit stress, sleep problems and persistent worry.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Rebecca collaborates with each person to identify what methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, offering options and checking in regularly so the plan evolves as therapy progresses. The emphasis is on working together to find practical, manageable steps that feel helpful.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to access regular support without long commutes or scheduling barriers. These formats offer flexibility for people juggling work, family or health demands, and allow therapists to provide consistent care in ways that suit each client's life and routine.
