About Rebecca

Rebecca Smith, NCPS, helps people who are carrying heavy worries like stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting strain and relationship problems. She speaks plainly and meets people where they are. Her approach is collaborative and grounded in practical steps to make daily life easier.

With 18 years of experience in the United Kingdom, Rebecca draws on several therapy styles rather than one fixed method. She offers a calm space to talk through painful events, difficult family dynamics, grief, low self-esteem and problems with motivation. Conversations aim to reduce overwhelm and make choices feel clearer.

Rebecca uses tools from client-centred work to follow what matters most to each person. She also brings in elements of cognitive behavioural therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and build new coping habits. Where past patterns run deep, psychodynamic ideas can help show how earlier relationships affect current feelings.

People often come wanting relief from anxiety, help after separation or abuse, or better ways to manage anger and grief. Rebecca also supports those dealing with chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image concerns and issues around attachment or commitment. Her work is practical and paced to each person’s needs.

Starting therapy with her involves working together to set clear, manageable goals. Sessions focus on small changes that add up, with an emphasis on increased confidence and better day-to-day coping.

How Rebecca's approaches work online

Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre of each session. The therapist follows what feels most urgent to the client and helps people name their feelings and priorities. This approach is useful for managing stress, life changes and parenting worries.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on what people think and do day to day. It helps identify patterns of thought that increase anxiety or low mood and offers straightforward techniques to try instead. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression and problems with motivation.

Rebecca will work with the client to decide which approach fits best. That choice is made together, based on current needs, goals and personal preference, and can change as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow more flexible scheduling. Some people find shorter check-ins or non-video options useful if they need a quieter or quicker way to connect. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt methods for online work while keeping the focus on practical change and emotional support.
