Rebecca Mcintosh , BACP

Rebecca Mcintosh is a person-centred therapist with 12 years of professional experience who supports people feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward. She helps clients unpack intense emotions and untangle the thoughts that get in the way of clarity and action, tailoring each session to meet the individual needs of the person in front of her. Rebecca holds the BACP credential (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), reflecting her training and commitment to professional practice.

She recognises how much courage it takes to reach out for help and treats that step as the beginning of a journey toward greater wellbeing and change. Over the years she has worked with a wide range of people, including neurodivergent and disabled clients, and has particular experience supporting those living with cancer from her time working at Cancer Support. Rebecca works with individuals and couples, offering a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where difficult subjects such as trauma, relationship strain, grief, and life transitions can be explored openly.

Sessions are shaped around each person’s goals, whether that means developing coping strategies for anxiety and stress, navigating relationship and intimacy concerns, or addressing longer-standing issues like attachment, bipolar disorder, or substance difficulties. Her approach aims to create room for clients to be heard, to gain perspective, and to find practical steps toward the changes they want.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Rebecca primarily uses client-centred therapy, which focuses on offering empathic listening and genuine acceptance so clients can explore their feelings at their own pace. This approach helps people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about next steps by creating space to understand personal values and goals.

Mindfulness therapy is used to help clients develop present-moment awareness and practical skills for managing anxiety, stress, and strong emotions. Simple mindfulness practices can support better emotional regulation and clearer thinking during times of high distress.

Trauma-focused therapy is applied when past experiences of trauma or abuse are central to a person’s difficulties. This approach concentrates on understanding the impact of traumatic events and on building strategies to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Rebecca works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts the work as progress unfolds so therapy stays relevant and practical.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit sessions into busy lives or to access support from different locations. These options can increase accessibility and convenience while allowing therapists and clients to focus on meaningful, goal-oriented work together.
