Rebecca Bayliss, BACP

Rebecca Bayliss is a Masters-level qualified counsellor and psychotherapist who works primarily using a person-centred approach. She focuses on helping people navigate a wide range of mental health and relationship difficulties, including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, parenting challenges, and issues around self-esteem and identity. Rebecca holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her professional training and commitment to ethical practice.

Her work centres on creating a calm, non-judgemental space where people can explore their thoughts and feelings openly. Building a trusting therapeutic relationship is a priority, and Rebecca aims to help individuals feel accepted as they are so they can speak freely about what matters to them. She supports people to make meaningful changes, choose themselves, and discover new ways of living that feel more satisfying.

Rebecca also pays attention to the connection between mind and body, recognising that difficult emotions and past traumas can show up as physical sensations. While she acknowledges that medication can be helpful for some, her practice often explores how unresolved emotions can be processed in therapy. Through gentle exploration and tailored therapeutic work, she helps people reconnect different parts of themselves and find activities and ways of being that bring greater fulfilment.

Person-Centred and Trauma-Informed Online Support

Rebecca uses client-centred therapy to create a warm, accepting environment where the pace and focus of sessions are guided by the person seeking help. This approach emphasizes empathy and respect, and is well suited to people working through relationship issues, low self-esteem, or life transitions.

She also incorporates trauma-focused ideas when needed, which involve gently addressing the impact of past traumatic experiences and helping people process difficult emotions. This work can support those coping with abuse, grief, or long-standing emotional pain.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rebecca works with each person to explore what feels most helpful based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts her ways of working as therapy progresses to ensure a good fit.

Online sessions - whether by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - offer flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited local options. These formats make it possible to access regular support from registered professionals without needing to travel, and allow therapy to fit into everyday life more easily.
