Rebecca Mcintosh, BACP

Rebecca Mcintosh is a counsellor who helps people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. She offers calm, steady support so clients can talk through strong feelings and gain simple clarity. Rebecca uses a person-centred approach that puts the client’s priorities first and respects each person’s pace.

She adapts sessions to what each person needs, whether that means slower reflection or practical steps to try between meetings. Rebecca has 12 years of experience and has worked with people who are neurodivergent and with those affected by cancer during her time at Cancer Support. She aims to make the first step of reaching out feel manageable.

Rebecca works with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, coping with life changes, ADHD, trauma and abuse, depression, bipolar and issues around intimacy and anger. She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiver strain, addiction, body image and attachment struggles.

Her main ways of working include client-centred therapy, mindfulness-based methods and solution-focused techniques, and she also draws on trauma-focused approaches when needed. Sessions are shaped around what each person wants to achieve and are paced to suit them.

Practice is based in the United Kingdom and Rebecca is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are offered in English and she does not take international clients.

How Rebecca’s approaches translate to online work

Rebecca draws on client-centred and mindfulness approaches to guide online sessions. Client-centred work focuses on listening carefully and following the client’s lead, helping people voice what matters most and decide the next steps. Mindfulness work teaches simple attention and breathing practices that can reduce overwhelm and help with anxiety or stress.

She also uses solution-focused ideas to identify small, practical steps clients can try between meetings. These techniques aim to build momentum by finding what already helps and increasing it. Deciding which approach to use is a joint process: the therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels achievable, and then adapt methods as they go.

If you plan to try online therapy, check which session options Rebecca is currently offering before booking. Confirming formats ahead of time lets you pick what fits your routine and needs. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a working day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when life is busy, but please verify the exact formats available when you arrange your first appointment.
