About Rebecca
Rebecca Matthews offers calm, straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by relationship pain, grief, low self-worth, anxiety or life changes. She introduces simple steps so conversations do not feel heavy or confusing. Sessions are aimed at helping someone make sense of what is happening and find practical ways to move forward.
Rebecca works in a person-centred way that puts the client’s experience at the centre. That means she listens without judgement and follows what the person brings to the room.
Background and approach
She also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to notice unhelpful thinking patterns and on elements of dialectical behaviour therapy to teach coping skills when emotions feel intense. Her practice covers a broad range of concerns such as depression, panic, loneliness, intimacy-related problems and issues connected to attachment and abandonment.
Rebecca also supports people facing infidelity, communication breakdowns, perfectionism, shame and struggles related to autism or dependent personality traits. Rebecca is a BACP Therapist - Registered Member MBACP and has six years of clinical experience. She works with adults in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English.
Her approach is gradual and collaborative, so progress is paced to each person’s comfort. In sessions she helps people set clear goals and agrees practical steps to reach them. Conversations can include skill-building, mindfulness exercises and reflection on past patterns.
She invites questions and will explain how different ways of working might help before trying them.

How Rebecca blends therapy approaches online
Rebecca often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in sessions to help people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values. ACT is practical and focuses on actions a person can try, which can help with anxiety, depression and life changes.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy ideas when relationships and past connection patterns are central to the concern. This approach helps people understand how early bonds influence current relationships and teaches ways to form healthier connections.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process and will be decided together. Rebecca discusses goals and preferences in early sessions and adapts techniques to fit each person’s needs. That collaborative planning means approaches are tested and adjusted rather than imposed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone calls can be a simpler option with lower bandwidth, and live chat or messaging suits shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing. These choices make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to use methods that match how someone likes to communicate.
