Rebecca Foster is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of practice supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem and life changes. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Rebecca offers a calm, straightforward way of working and aims to help people take the next practical steps in their lives.

Rebecca uses an integrative approach that blends person-centred counselling, cognitive behavioural ideas, and attachment-informed thinking.

Background and approach

This mix lets her tailor sessions to the person in front of her rather than following a single method for everyone. She explains ideas plainly and focuses on what will make a real difference for each client. Grief and bereavement are a particular focus.

Rebecca has carried out extensive research in this area and that work is under review for publication. Her background also includes teaching counselling and psychotherapy at university level, which keeps her practice rooted in current thinking. Her experience includes supporting people who have faced trauma and those with learning disabilities, as well as individuals who have been looked after.

In sessions she aims to build acceptance, trust and clear goals so people can move forward at their own pace. Rebecca frames therapy as a collaborative process. She works alongside people to set realistic aims, try new ways of coping, and review progress so change feels achievable and grounded in everyday life.

How Rebecca's approaches suit online therapy

Rebecca commonly draws on person-centred counselling, which focuses on listening, empathy and helping people find their own solutions. That approach works well online because conversations can still be warm and exploratory even when they happen by video or message.

She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and try practical new behaviours. These techniques translate easily to online sessions with short exercises, thought records or behavioural experiments agreed between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will collaborate with each person to decide what methods fit their goals and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is reviewed. That means sessions can evolve if something feels less helpful or a different emphasis is needed.

Online work offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a shorter break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins and written reflections straightforward. Together, these options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life while keeping the focus on clear goals and steady progress.
