Rebecca Mcintosh, BACP

Rebecca Mcintosh is a person-centred therapist with 12 years of professional experience who supports people feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about next steps. She focuses on giving clients space to unpack complex emotions and to gain clarity, tailoring each session to the individual needs and pace of the person in therapy. Rebecca understands that reaching out takes real courage and sees that first step as the start of a process toward change and greater wellbeing.

Her work includes supporting individuals and couples through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, trauma, and a wide range of life changes. Rebecca has particular experience working with neurodivergent and disabled people, and she spent years supporting people affected by cancer while working at Cancer Support. She offers practical emotional support for issues such as self-esteem, anger, ADHD, bipolar and depression, as well as family and intimacy-related concerns.

Rebecca is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and brings a compassionate, nonjudgmental approach to therapy. She aims to create a safe, respectful space where people can speak openly, explore what matters to them, and work toward meaningful change.

Therapeutic approaches Rebecca uses for online care

Rebecca draws on client-centred therapy to help people explore their feelings and priorities at their own pace. This approach emphasises empathy and acceptance from the therapist and supports work on issues such as anxiety, self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and coping with life changes. Mindfulness therapy is used to develop present-moment awareness and practical strategies for managing stress and overwhelming emotions - it can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and improving emotional regulation. She also employs solution-focused techniques that concentrate on identifying strengths and small, achievable steps toward the changes a person wants to make, which can be especially useful for clients seeking practical progress in a shorter time frame.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Rebecca will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process means adjusting focus as therapy unfolds to ensure the work remains relevant and helpful.

Online therapy with Rebecca is available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people balancing work, family, or health demands. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and to maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible, while allowing registered professionals and therapists to adapt methods to the online setting.
