About Rebecca

Rebecca Briggs is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports those coping with trauma, anger, career changes and compassion fatigue. Rebecca uses a straightforward, warm approach to make it easier to talk about difficult feelings.

She trained to a BSc First Class (Honours) in counselling and holds NCPS credentialing. Rebecca has six years of professional experience supporting people through loss, motivation struggles and confidence issues. She aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable and respectful.

In sessions she focuses on building trust and listening without judgement. She invites honest conversation about what is worrying the person and helps them notice patterns in thoughts and behaviour. Practical tools are offered alongside time to reflect on emotions.

Rebecca draws on a mix of methods so work can be tailored to the individual. That might mean looking at how attachments shape current reactions, using cognitive techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts, or exploring feelings in the moment to deepen emotional understanding. The style is collaborative and paced to what each person needs.

People who struggle with obsessional thinking, jealousy, phobias, post-traumatic stress or self-harm concerns are within her focus areas. She also supports young adult issues, end-of-life and hospice related concerns and has experience with co-morbidity. Rebecca accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.

How Rebecca’s approaches can work online

Rebecca often draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships affect current reactions and patterns. This approach can help when jealousy, abandonment concerns or attachment issues cause distress in daily life.

She also uses Client-Centred Therapy which focuses on listening and reflecting what the person says, helping them find their own solutions and build confidence. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns that feed anxiety and low mood.

Choosing the right approach is something Rebecca treats as collaborative. She will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, and then agree on the methods to try. The plan can change as therapy progresses so it fits the person rather than forcing a single style.

If you prefer online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, cut travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins on a break from work. Some people find phone or video better for different tasks - less visual focus for a quick review, video for deeper emotional work - and the therapist will discuss what suits each person.
