People come to therapy for many reasons, including stress, low mood, uncertainty, internal conflict, relationship patterns, burnout, grief and loss, or a desire to better understand themselves and their experiences. Many of the people Rebecca works with are thoughtful adults who have spent years managing responsibilities, supporting others, or maintaining high levels of functioning, yet are now seeking space to reflect, recalibrate and consider the next stage of life.

​

Rebecca’s approach is grounded, supportive and collaborative, creating space to explore experiences that may feel confusing or overwhelming, while supporting practical and meaningful change at a pace that feels manageable.

​

Below are some of the areas Rebecca commonly supports clients with. In practice, these experiences often overlap and influence one another. Therapy involves working together to understand this complexity, gently separating out contributing factors while maintaining a broader, integrated understanding of your experience.

​

STRESS & ANXIETY

Stress and worry can affect mood, sleep, decision-making and physical wellbeing. Therapy offers space to explore these experiences with curiosity and compassion, understand the patterns that contribute to overwhelm, and develop strategies that support steadiness and clarity.

​

LOW MOOD & DEPRESSION

Periods of low mood or depression can affect motivation, energy, sleep, self-perception and your sense of connection with others. Rebecca offers a supportive space to understand the emotional, relational and life experiences that may be contributing, while developing practical and compassionate ways of responding to these patterns over time.

​

TRAUMA (INCLUDING COMPLEX TRAUMA & PTSD)

Difficult or overwhelming experiences can leave emotional and physical traces that shape how you respond to the world. Rebecca's approach integrates EMDR, somatic awareness and trauma-informed principles, supporting exploration and regulation at a pace that feels safe and grounded.

​

RELATIONSHIPS & ATTACHMENT

Therapy can support understanding of relationship patterns, communication challenges, intimacy concerns and attachment dynamics. This includes inclusive support for diverse relationship structures, and exploration of how relational experiences shape emotional world and sense of self.

​

NEURODIVERSITY SUPPORT

Many adults, particularly women, seek therapy when beginning to wonder whether ADHD and/or Autism may be part of their experience. For some, this recognition emerges through personal reflection, conversations, or learning more about neurodivergence, prompting curiosity about long-standing patterns that may now make more sense.

​

Others seek support following diagnosis or the commencement of medication, looking for guidance with emotional regulation, executive functioning, sensory sensitivities, identity, and relationships. This can also include experiences of burnout, particularly for those who have spent years masking, overcompensating, or holding things together at a high level.

​

Rebecca provides a collaborative space to explore these patterns, develop practical strategies, and recognise strengths with compassionate awareness. Please note Rebecca does not currently provide ADHD or Autism assessments but can discuss appropriate referral pathways where relevant.

​

WOMEN’S HEALTH & PERIMENOPAUSE / MENOPAUSE

Hormonal changes across the lifespan, including perimenopause, menopause, and cyclical hormonal patterns such as PMDD, can influence mood, energy, sleep, cognition, identity, relationships and stress tolerance. These experiences are often complex and can intersect with life stage shifts, roles, and broader questions about meaning, direction and self.

 

Rebecca offers a reflective, supportive space to explore and make sense of these experiences, including the emotional, relational and physiological aspects. Therapy may include developing mind–body strategies to support regulation, understanding changing needs and boundaries, and navigating challenges with greater clarity and self-compassion.

​

BURNOUT, BOUNDARIES & WORK STRESS

Burnout often emerges from chronic over-responsibility, caregiving roles, people-pleasing, perfectionism or unsustainable demands. It can also arise in those who appear highly capable externally, while internally feeling depleted or overwhelmed.

​

Therapy supports exploration of boundaries, values and patterns that influence wellbeing, helping to develop more sustainable ways of engaging with work and life.

​

LIFE TRANSITIONS

Changes in identity, roles, relationships or circumstances, including separation/divorce, parenting, career change or retirement, can bring uncertainty and emotional complexity. Therapy supports reflection, meaning-making and grounded decision-making during these times.

​

GRIEF & LOSS

Experiences of loss may include the death of a loved one, relationship endings, health changes, or more subtle forms of loss such as shifts in identity, roles or life direction. Grief can be complex and does not always follow a predictable path.

Rebecca offers a supportive space to process grief at your own pace, making room for both emotional pain and meaning-making, while gently supporting adjustment over time.

​​

COPING PATTERNS (ALCOHOL, FOOD, TECHNOLOGY)

Coping behaviours such as alcohol use, binge eating, or excessive technology use often develop in response to stress, overwhelm, emotional pain, or unmet needs. Therapy offers a compassionate space to understand these patterns with curiosity rather than judgement, and to explore more supportive ways of responding to emotional challenges.

​

SLEEP & REGULATION

Sleep concerns are often intertwined with stress, emotional intensity, trauma or hormonal changes. Therapy supports exploring the emotional, cognitive and behavioural factors that impact rest, alongside mind–body approaches for regulation.

​

PURPOSE, IDENTITY & MEANING

You may be exploring values, creativity, purpose or direction. Therapy can support this process by creating space for reflection, curiosity and deeper understanding of what matters most to you.

​

BUSINESS OWNERS & LEADERSHIP

Running a small business or working in a leadership role can bring unique pressures, responsibilities and emotional demands. Therapy offers space to explore decision-making, boundaries, identity, creativity and the personal patterns that influence how you show up in your work.

​

Drawing on over 20 years of experience as a small business owner and former founding Director of the Coastal Towns Business Chamber, Rebecca integrates psychological insight with an understanding of real-world business challenges to support sustainable, values-aligned professional growth.
