About Rebecca

Rebecca Rust-Ashford is an empathic, non-judgemental integrative therapist who specialises in trauma, depression, and anxiety. She combines training from multiple therapeutic approaches to create a personalised way of working that reflects each person's unique needs and circumstances. Rebecca emphasises an accepting, compassionate presence that helps clients feel heard and understood while they explore difficult experiences and emotional patterns.

Her integrative approach means she draws on different methods rather than relying on a single model, adapting techniques to suit the individual rather than asking the individual to adapt to a fixed method. She holds the BACP credential - the professional association for counselling and psychotherapy in the United Kingdom - which reflects her commitment to ongoing professional standards and ethical practice.

Rebecca aims to collaborate with clients to set goals and choose strategies that support recovery and resilience, paying attention to the whole person and the context of their life. Her style is grounded, approachable, and focused on practical ways to reduce distress and build greater emotional wellbeing.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Sessions

Rebecca uses Client-Centred Therapy to create a warm, non-judgemental space where the client leads the conversation and the therapist offers empathy and understanding. This approach helps people work through low mood, anxiety, and relationship concerns by building self-awareness and personal agency.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is offered as a structured method for addressing distressing memories and trauma symptoms. EMDR involves guided processing of traumatic material and can reduce the intensity of traumatic memories, making daily life more manageable for some clients.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Rebecca works collaboratively with clients and other registered professionals to identify which methods match the client's needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts plans as progress is made.

Online therapy with Rebecca is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options offer flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limitations, or geographical constraints, allowing sessions to fit into everyday life while maintaining continuity of care.
