Rebecca Mcintosh offers calm, practical support for people feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about next steps. She meets people where they are and helps them untangle worries to find clearer thinking and small, doable changes. Rebecca keeps language simple and sessions focused on what matters to each person.

Rebecca uses a person-centred outlook that puts the client’s experience at the centre of the work. She listens closely and adapts sessions to what the individual needs that week.

Background and approach

That might mean slower reflection, coping strategies, or short-term tasks to try between meetings. Her background includes 12 years of professional practice and work at Cancer Support, where she supported people affected by serious illness. She also has experience working with neurodivergent and disabled people, and has supported people with complex histories of trauma and abuse.

Rebecca practises approaches such as client-centred methods, mindfulness, solution-focused conversations, and trauma-informed work to suit different issues. She aims to help people manage stress and anxiety, navigate relationship and intimacy difficulties, cope with grief, and address mood conditions like depression or bipolar symptoms. Sessions are conversational and practical.

Rebecca helps people break large problems into smaller steps, try new ways of coping, and reflect on what is working. She holds a BACP accreditation, and works remotely with people in the United Kingdom in English.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Rebecca works with person-centred methods that focus on the person’s own experience and priorities. This approach means the therapist listens more than she directs, and sessions follow what matters most to the client that week. It suits people who need time to be heard and to make sense of feelings. She also uses mindfulness-based techniques to help with stress and anxiety. These practices teach simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily reactions, and can reduce reactivity and improve focus. Solution-focused work is used to set small, practical goals and try specific steps between sessions to build momentum and confidence. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will discuss options with each person and decide together what feels most helpful based on needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative planning can change as therapy progresses. Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy around daily life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions suit lower bandwidth or when being on camera is difficult, live chat and messaging can be useful for brief check-ins or when typing feels more comfortable. These formats give flexibility and make regular contact more achievable for many people.
