About Rebecca
Rebecca Matthews is a BACP therapist based in the United Kingdom with six years' experience. She works with adults who are struggling with relationship problems, grief, low self-esteem, depression, stress, anxiety and issues around intimacy and life change. She also helps with guilt and shame, abandonment and attachment concerns.
Rebecca uses a person-centred approach as her foundation. That means she listens first and helps clients set practical goals they want to work on. She also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to look at thinking patterns, and on dialectical behaviour ideas for managing strong emotions.
In sessions she talks things through simply and directly. Conversations often cover how past attachments affect current relationships. Practical skills for managing panic, anxiety and intense shame are introduced alongside space to reflect on grief and loss.
Her background includes work with people facing bereavement and relationship breakdown. Where helpful, mindfulness practices are offered to support grounding and distress tolerance. Rebecca aims to collaborate with clients to identify small, manageable steps forward.
People choosing to work with her usually want clear, straightforward conversations about what feels stuck. She encourages setting realistic goals and reviewing progress as therapy continues. If you have questions about how she works or the fit for your concerns, she invites you to make contact and ask before booking.
How her approaches translate to online work
Rebecca often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) ideas alongside her person-centred practice. ACT focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and choosing actions that reflect personal values, which can help when guilt or shame limits what someone does. Attachment-Based Therapy informs how she looks at current relationship patterns by tracing how earlier attachments shape present behaviour and trust.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with clients about their goals and preferences, and together they decide which techniques to try first. That collaborative discussion can include trying different methods and checking what feels useful as therapy progresses.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm available session types before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals often find that talk-based approaches, practical exercises and mindfulness practices adapt well to remote sessions, and she will consider how to shape sessions to fit everyday life.
