About Rebecca
Rebecca Garside is an NCPS counsellor in the United Kingdom with 13 years of experience. She works with people dealing with relationship strain, family issues, parenting questions and life changes. She also supports LGBT concerns and people facing identity questions linked to birth families or foster care.
Beck uses client-centred therapy, which means the conversation is guided by the person's concerns and pace. Sessions focus on understanding what matters to the individual and on practical ways to manage daily life. She listens to how guilt or shame shows up around family, identity and relationship decisions and helps people talk through those feelings.
She has long experience with people who have been in the care system, and with adoptees and fostered people sorting out identity and belonging. She has also supported parents coping with children leaving home and later life emotional shifts including the effects of menopause.
Beck is an ally of the LGBT community and can discuss coming out and questions about sexual or gender identity. She has worked with people across adulthood, from younger adults through later life, who find day-to-day life a struggle.
Her style is straightforward and person-led. She helps people explore their feelings, consider small changes, and decide what matters next. To begin, people follow the site process to match and book a first session.
Client-centred work and online sessions
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's own concerns and pace. The counsellor listens without steering the conversation and reflects what the person says so they can find clarity. This approach is useful for relationship strain, identity questions and family-related shame or guilt.Client-centred work helps people put their own priorities first in the room. The counsellor and client check what feels most useful and adapt the way they work together as sessions progress. This means methods and goals are chosen collaboratively rather than imposed.
If you want to use online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking as the biography does not specify formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work and family life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find video or phone sessions help them keep continuity of support while balancing everyday commitments.
