Rebecca Lazaro, BACP

Rebecca Lazaro is a person-centred therapeutic counsellor who supports people working through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and depression. She approaches each person as an individual shaped by unique experiences, and she aims to help clients make sense of their thoughts, feelings and behaviours while empowering their authentic selves.

Sessions with Rebecca focus on attentive, nonjudgemental listening and a collaborative therapeutic relationship. She works alongside clients at the pace they set, offering empathy and understanding while noticing patterns, exploring beliefs and gently challenging unhelpful assumptions. She explains that person-centred work is often a longer-term process and typically recommends a minimum of eight sessions to allow meaningful changes to emerge and settle over time.

Rebecca draws on complementary ideas when helpful, including exploring attachment styles, reflecting on childhood experiences, and addressing how unresolved trauma can be stored in the body. She may introduce perspectives about how the nervous system affects emotional regulation and suggest alternative ways of seeing recurring relationship patterns so clients can make conscious, lasting choices. Rebecca holds a BA (Hons) in Psychology, a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and a Diploma in Social Care focused on child development, and she has completed training certificates such as Emotion-Focused Therapy for Couples, Trauma-Informed Practice and Somatic Therapy for Complex Trauma. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom, and she is a mixed-race practitioner and member of the LGBTQ+ community.

Client-centered and attachment-focused online therapy

Client-centered therapy, sometimes called person-centred therapy, rests on the idea that a trusting, respectful relationship helps people understand their own feelings and find their own solutions. It is useful for those facing ongoing stress, low mood, relationship concerns or a desire for deeper self-understanding.

Attachment-based therapy examines how early relationships shape current patterns of relating to others and managing emotions. It can be especially helpful for people who notice repeating relationship difficulties or who carry wounds from earlier attachments.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and reshaping emotional responses and interactions, often within relationships, to help people move toward more secure connection and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rebecca will work with each person to clarify their goals, needs and preferences and will tailor the therapy style accordingly, combining principles from different approaches when that best supports progress.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging - so people can fit therapy around work, family and other commitments. These remote options make it easier to access regular support, maintain continuity of care, and try different formats to find what suits each individual best.
