People come to therapy for many reasons — stress, low mood, uncertainty, internal conflict, relationship patterns, burnout, 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 better understand themselves and the next stage of life.

​

Rebecca’s approach is grounded, supportive and collaborative, with an emphasis on making sense of patterns that may feel confusing or overwhelming while exploring practical and meaningful ways to move forward at a pace that feels manageable.

​

Below are some of the areas she commonly supports clients with.

​

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. Therapy 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. My 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 help you understand relationship patterns, communication challenges, intimacy concerns and attachment dynamics. This includes inclusive support for diverse relationship structures. Together we explore how relational experiences shape your emotional world and sense of self.

​

NEURODIVERSITY SUPPORT

Many adults, particularly women, seek therapy when they begin to wonder whether ADHD and/or Autism may be part of their experience, or after receiving a formal diagnosis and wanting support in understanding what it means in everyday life. 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, identity, and relationships. Therapy provides a collaborative space to explore these patterns, develop practical strategies, and recognise strengths with compassionate awareness.

 

Please note Rebecca does not provide ADHD or Autism assessments but can discuss appropriate referral pathways where relevant.

​

WOMEN’S HEALTH & PERIMENOPAUSE / MENOPAUSE

Hormonal transitions can influence mood, energy, identity, relationships and stress tolerance. Therapy offers a reflective, supportive space to navigate these changes, explore mind–body strategies, and understand your needs.

​

BURNOUT, BOUNDARIES & WORK STRESS

Burnout often emerges from chronic responsibility, caregiving roles, people-pleasing, perfectionism or unsustainable demands. Together we explore boundaries, values and patterns that influence your wellbeing, supporting more sustainable ways of engaging with work and life.

​

LIFE TRANSITIONS

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

​

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.
