About Rebecca

Rebecca Foster is a UK counsellor with five years' experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and shaken self-esteem. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and offers a calm, attentive approach to talking about painful problems. Rebecca uses an integrative style.

That means she draws on person-centred counselling, cognitive behavioural ideas and attachment theory to shape sessions. She adapts the way she works to each person rather than using one fixed method.

Background and approach

Grief and bereavement are a particular focus. Rebecca has carried out substantial research in this area and the work is under review for publication. She combines research knowledge with everyday support for people facing loss.

She also teaches counselling and psychotherapy at university level, which keeps her thinking current and reflective. Her background includes supporting people who have faced trauma, those who were looked after as children, and people with learning disabilities. In sessions Rebecca aims to be accepting and trustworthy.

She listens with an open mind and helps people set realistic goals. Practical ideas and gentle challenge are used alongside listening, to help people make changes that matter. If you want a counsellor who tailors their approach and draws on research-informed methods, she can work with you to find sensible steps forward.

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

Integrative approaches and online therapy

Rebecca blends person-centred counselling with cognitive behavioural ideas and attachment-informed thinking. Person-centred counselling focuses on listening and acceptance, helping people feel heard and understood as they talk through difficult feelings. Cognitive behavioural techniques look at patterns of thought and behaviour, offering practical ways to change unhelpful cycles that feed anxiety or low mood. Attachment ideas help make sense of how early relationships shape current patterns in close connections and self-esteem.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will collaborate with you to decide which methods suit your situation and goals. She adapts the mix of listening, practical tools and reflection to fit what you want to achieve and how you prefer to work.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow a face-to-face conversation without travel, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat or text-based messaging can make brief check-ins or ongoing support easier to fit into a busy day. These options give flexibility so therapy can be scheduled around work, family and other commitments.
