Rebecca Garside supports people facing relationship strain, parenting worries, family problems, LGBT questions, and coping with life changes. She helps with issues like abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, body image, communication difficulties, and the emotional impacts of separation. Rebecca uses a straightforward, empathic style that aims to make talking easier for people in distress.

Rebecca is a counsellor with 13 years of experience. NCPS is listed after her name, which denotes her professional credential.

Background and approach

She has offered counselling across the lifespan, including work with people who have experience of the care system and those navigating identity questions linked to birth families and foster care. She is an ally of the LGBT community and can support conversations about coming out, sexual identity and gender identity.

Rebecca also works with parents experiencing the emotional effects when children leave home, and with people dealing with grief, loss and other hard life events. Her approach is person-centred, which means sessions are shaped around each person’s needs. The focus is on listening, understanding and helping people make choices that suit their lives.

Sessions are practical and paced to suit whoever is attending. Rebecca aims to build a safe, respectful space where people can talk openly. She offers a calm manner and steady support to help people find their way through difficult moments.

If someone wants to explore whether she is the right counsellor, a short enquiry and conversation can start the process.

How Rebecca's Person-centred Approach Works Online

Rebecca practises person-centred therapy, which means sessions focus on the person's own goals and experiences. The counsellor listens closely, reflects feelings and helps people make choices that feel right for them. This approach can help with relationship concerns, identity questions, grief and family issues.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Rebecca will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt the way she works to match each person's needs, goals and preferences. The process is collaborative and reviewed as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which gives practical flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options help fit counselling around work, family life and different routines.
