Narrative Therapy in this listing

Online session options
How Rebecca uses different approaches online
Rebecca often draws on Narrative Therapy to help people tell and reframe their life stories. This approach focuses on the meanings people give to events and looks for alternate storylines that support change. It can help with identity, grief and long-standing patterns.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to notice how early relationship experiences shape current ways of connecting. That work can be useful for people who want to understand patterns in friendships or intimate relationships and reduce anxiety in close connections.
Client-Centred Therapy is part of her mix too, which means sessions are guided by the person's priorities. The therapist offers empathy and non-judgemental listening so clients can explore feelings at their own pace.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Rebecca will discuss different ways of working and adapt methods to match a client's goals and preferences. She encourages collaboration so the plan fits what the person needs now and can change over time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer written reflection or want more flexible, ongoing contact between appointments. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and travel.
