Rebecca "Becca" Mather, BACP

She currently does not have any availability for evening sessions.

Rebecca "Becca" Mather holds the BACP credential (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and offers a warm, non-judgmental space for people who are feeling overwhelmed, exhausted or paralysed by anxiety. She recognises how consuming intrusive thoughts and burnout can be, and understands that reaching out for therapy often comes from a desire to make meaningful changes. Drawing on personal experience of therapy, she places importance on finding the right therapeutic match and aims to provide listening, validation and uninterrupted time for clients to be heard.

Becca works with a broad range of concerns including anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and family difficulties, parenting and fatherhood issues, sleep problems, anger and career challenges. She has a particular interest in supporting women through pregnancy and early motherhood, including experiences of difficult pregnancies, postnatal depression, postnatal anxiety and hyperemesis gravidarum. Her practice also covers areas such as ADHD, compassion fatigue, body image, abandonment and blended family dynamics.

Her approach blends mindfulness techniques, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered principles, and she sometimes uses Emotional Freedom Techniques - tapping - when appropriate. Interventions are offered as invitations rather than prescriptions, allowing clients to choose what feels aligned with their needs. Through collaborative exploration and practical goal-setting she supports people to reduce overwhelm, build confidence and take manageable steps toward greater wellbeing. If Becca's style resonates, prospective clients are encouraged to reach out to discuss suitability.

Approaches and Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them, and on identifying values to guide meaningful action - it can be useful for anxiety, depression and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the work, offering empathic listening and support so clients can explore feelings and make choices that suit them; this is helpful for building self-esteem and improving relationships. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and awareness skills that reduce reactivity to stress and promote calmer responses to difficult emotions, which often benefits sleep problems, stress and rumination.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and the therapist will work collaboratively to determine what fits best based on each person's needs, goals and preferences. Options are offered as invitations rather than fixed rules, so treatment can be adapted as understanding grows.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit support around work, family and daily life. Registered professionals and therapists can provide consistent care across these formats, helping clients access support from locations that suit them and maintain progress between sessions.
