Rebecca Garside is a person centred counsellor with 13 years' experience helping people through major life changes. She supports those facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, issues linked to pregnancy and childbirth, and wider family concerns. She is an ally of the LGBT community and speaks English. Rebecca accepts international clients and works from the United Kingdom.

Rebecca uses a person centred approach that keeps the client in the driving seat. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting and helping people find their own solutions. She aims to create a calm space where people can talk through difficult feelings without judgement.

Her background includes long experience supporting people who have been in the care system. She has helped people process identity questions related to adoption and foster care, and to work through family of origin problems.

Rebecca has also worked with people coping with grief, loss and major life disruption. She supports those dealing with abandonment, separation, addiction and body image concerns. She can help parents adjusting to an empty nest and the emotional effects that follow.

In sessions she helps people name what matters most and to try practical ways of making change. She invites a gentle pace and practical conversation, tailoring the work to each person’s needs. If someone thinks they may be a good fit, they are encouraged to make contact and see how the relationship feels.

How a Person Centred Approach Works Online

Rebecca uses Client-Centred Therapy, which centres the conversation on the person's own perspective. The counsellor listens closely, reflects feelings and helps the person find their own way forward; this suits relationship concerns, identity questions and family issues.

Her work is gentle and paced around what each person needs. The counsellor focuses on building trust and understanding first, then helps people try practical steps that fit their life and goals. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process and will depend on what the person wants to achieve.

If you are considering online sessions, check the current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the profile. Many people find remote work easier to fit into busy days, to keep sessions shorter when needed, or to avoid travel. Rebecca will discuss which way of working suits a person’s schedule and preferences during the initial matching and scheduling process.
