Rebecca Bennett offers a warm, person-centred way of working that puts the client's experience at the heart of each session. She is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with eight years of professional experience. Rebecca creates a space where people can speak openly and be listened to without judgement.

She focuses on common struggles such as stress, anxiety and depression, and helps people cope with major life changes.

Background and approach

Relationship difficulties and the effects of trauma and abuse are also central to her practice. Rebecca also supports people dealing with divorce and separation, domestic violence, guilt and shame, and questions of life purpose and self-love. Rebecca uses Client-Centred Therapy alongside Trauma-Focused Therapy to match each person's needs.

That means sessions often start by following the client's concerns, building trust and exploring what feels most urgent. Where trauma is part of the story, she works with stability and gradual pacing so people can feel safer in the moment.

She brings practical tools when these are helpful, such as breathing and grounding exercises, psycho-education about reactions to stress, and simple coping strategies for managing triggers. Techniques may draw on cognitive and nervous-system ideas but are always tailored to the individual.

Rebecca currently works with a specialist counselling service for victims of sexual and domestic violence and brings that experience into her approach. She aims to be straightforward and compassionate, helping people find realistic ways to move forward and rebuild a sense of control.

How Rebecca uses client-centred and trauma-focused methods online

Rebecca works primarily with Client-Centred Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy in online sessions. Client-Centred Therapy involves listening closely, following what matters to the person and reflecting back what is said to increase understanding and self-awareness. It is useful for general stress, anxiety, depression and questions about life purpose.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on the effects of past harm and on building stability and safety in the present. This approach can include paced grounding exercises, education about how the body reacts to trauma, and gradual strategies for managing triggers and intense emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will discuss goals and preferences with each person and choose or blend methods that best fit their needs. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as therapy progresses.

Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a short break in a working day, and chat or messaging can suit people who prefer writing or need quick check-ins between sessions. These options offer flexibility for different routines, comfort levels and communication styles.
