About Rebecca

Rebecca Barley Hawkins is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with seven years of experience. She meets people online, by phone and in person to listen and help them make sense of difficult feelings. Her registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, is part of how she connects practice to professional standards.

She creates a calm space where people can talk about stressful life events and painful emotions.

Background and approach

Sessions are offered without judgement and at a pace the client prefers. The focus is on making sense of how thoughts, feelings and behaviour interact in day-to-day life. Rebecca works with a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties.

She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, panic attacks and social anxiety. Additional areas include grief, issues from childhood, separation and questions about life purpose. Her way of working is largely non-directive.

That means the client sets the agenda and Rebecca follows, offering gentle reflection and questions to help people see different perspectives. The aim is to build trust so clients can gradually explore what matters to them. Over time sessions are used to reduce overwhelming emotions and increase personal choice.

Rebecca also has experience with both neurotypical and neurodivergent people and adapts her style to meet individual needs. This flexible approach helps people who feel stuck, isolated or unsure where to begin.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Rebecca lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

How evidence-based approaches work online

Rebecca uses commonly recommended evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. One approach helps people notice how thoughts influence feelings and behaviour, offering simple exercises to try between sessions and reduce anxiety or low mood. Another approach focuses on processing difficult experiences by creating a steady, paced conversation about what happened and how it affects day-to-day life. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rebecca discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts methods as therapy progresses. This shared planning helps make sure the work matches what the person needs and can be changed if something isn’t fitting well. Online therapy here offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from different locations, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for short check-ins, and text messaging lets people reflect in writing between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, study or family commitments and to choose a format that feels manageable.
